Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
I was very strategic with my run recently. I planned it so that I would finish at Breads Bakery just in time for breakfast/brunch. After running the 1.7 miles there, I felt confident I had earned my meal. In fact, I felt confident I had earned three meals because I purchased a leek quiche (seemed…

When it comes to the UWS, I’m usually out of my depth. I’m not in the area often enough to know which spots are good and which, more importantly, offer a great brunch deal. That’s why when we met Shawn in his neighborhood for brunch last weekend, we had to follow his lead. He introduced…

This avocado and egg pita is one of my earlier Pinterest pins. Somehow, however, I never got around to making it which is crazy because it’s easy enough to throw together in the middle of the harried getting-ready-for-work dance. I like to toast or warm my pita a bit first. Then, while the egg fries,…

Sometimes having a power breakfast on a weekday makes you feel, well, powerful. I was in the mood to let out my inner Superman so I adapted this goat cheese and egg toast with peas last week. I used a scrambled egg instead of a fried one because I didn’t want to have to deal…

And now for my third brunch post in a row I’ll tell you all about Rayuela. This one is another bottomless brunch spot. For just $15 you can have sangria added to your entree (which will only set you back about $13 in itself). You can switch off between sangria flavors, but I started with…

I think of Delicatessen as one of those beautiful people restaurants. Maybe it’s because there are lots of fancy stores in SoHo. Maybe it’s because the restaurant is so crisp and white. At 28 years old I should not be so easily intimidated. There was nothing scary about the restaurant and I was pretty enough…

It’s rare that I make breakfast on the weekends. I usually either use the weekend as an excuse to grab a bagel or breakfast sandwich from around the corner or to sleep in, lounge around, and make lunch my first meal. But this Sunday I convinced Albert to come over for a proper weekend brunch.…

I was wary when Amy wanted to eat at Hu Kitchen before a movie this weekend. One look at the menu and I could tell it was super healthy – and not in the sneak veggies into your kids’ meals sort of way. The word “organic” was thrown around a little too often for my…

Madison Bar and Grill does a crazy brunch buffet with seafood, eggs benedict, hanger steak, a chocolate fountain, and more. It’s $25 and comes with a cocktail and unlimited coffee. It can be a bit overwhelming so when Steph and I met at this uptown Hoboken establishment, we ordered off the regular menu (the fact…
