Midtown
This bustling brasserie has an industrial-chic interior, sociable bar and well-executed grub. Much of the food is made from scratch, the seasonal menus a mix of nostalgic American and Italian inspiration (we're talking hot potato chips with blue-cheese fondue, spicy fried chicken with kale slaw, and Sicilian baked eggs with artichokes, spinach and spicy tomato sauce).
Book ahead for weekend brunch or prepare to wait.
