For New York
This restaurant is a New Yorker. It’s got a certain energy about it that’s hard to describe. But if you live here, you just get it. On your first visit you look at the menu but after that you don’t–you’ll have a breakfast sandwich and an iced coffee, or the Cuban, or the good red and the olives.
The space is friendly, but a little intimidating–its high ceilings and that big, bold mural mimic the exhilaration of standing in downtown Manhattan, staring up at skyscrapers. The lunch menu takes diners from Bensonhurst to the Bronx (and lingers at Canal Street). It’s open all day, in a city that never sleeps–but TBH, that expression makes our eyes roll.
