Brunch!
My go-to no frills brunch spot. The avocado toast and Nutella french toast are both excellent. Get the fries if you’re extra hungry. Chai lattes are my drink of choice, but all their drinks are delightful!

Très bon! A beautiful little spot on Prince Street that pays homage to one of my favorite books. Highly recommend the fingerling potatoes on the side of any of their delicious dishes!

My favorite Israeli brunch spot. Always a Sophie’s Choice having to order sweet or savory. For sweet the french toast is an obvious choice. But for savory, the options are vast. Anything with Israeli salad is delightful. Their hummus meat plate is a must!
