Milk & Honey

New York City


Floor-to-ceiling windows flood this popular oasis with light. The menu features numerous brunch-style sandwiches and egg dishes, from comforting pastrami stacks to kale and butternut salad. Middle Eastern influences tinge dishes like the 'Turkish Eggs,' poached in tomato sauce with labneh (a yogurt-based soft cheese) and a dusting of pistachio dukkah (a fragrant spice mix).

A big favorite, though, is the French toast – with crème brûlée sauce and topped with berries, mint leaves and edible flowers – it's among the best in Brooklyn.
