there's a ton of the twist, but we're fresh out of shout

above the b.q.e. along the western edge of brooklyn heights, there's a place called the promenade (great sunset spot). if you follow it north to dumbo on a warm summer day you might find a flea market hiding under the bridges, or a very long line for pizza, or a farmers market, or an organic beef hot dog dressed up like bánh mì... but this is not where i had a hot dog in brooklyn this past friday, nope. that was in park slope, on bergen at "bark." i'm mentioning it here on the internet because while my dog/fries/glass of six point sweet action was good and all, i'm just trying to remind myself to go back and read that breakfast menu that i caught out of the corner of my eye.

skipping what happened between 7:30pm dinner and some 1:30am hours of operation confusion at momofuku's milk bar, dessert plan b happened on 14th street, well on the sidewalk, freshly deep fried, with powdered sugar on top for 2.50. it was all smiles.

saturday:

morning means coffee. it would have been a very long walk to gorilla, and an even longer walk to grumpy, there was some stumptown nearby, but we have that in philly. so the skate shop/coffee window with "mud" got my money, and i liked it. next time around i'm gonna track down a cafe with intelligentsia. not for any real reason, just a brief comment from mike and it's at the top of my caffeine to do list.

now some pictures of food:

clean slate (hummus, quinoa, pickles, yogurt, naan)

saltie

smoked meat hash (brisket, potatoes, onions, fried egg)

mile end
97A hoyt st
brooklyn, ny 11217

both highly recommended. i dare you to look them up on yelp.

a (french) toast to mr. erace

this innocent twitpic led me to a brunch that impressed the natives.

frankie's 457

option 2

carman's country kitchen was stuffed like french toast yesterday, so our party of three walked to washington and took over the dinning room at cafe de laos. three three course lunch specials and brunch was done.

the midwives collective is closing the “i found love” show saturday with, food, drinks, and found films
12-5 open gallery, 1-3 program

i could bacon, egg and cheese on a long roll there all the time

the service was so bad, but teri’s keeps brunch cheap. just look at the menu.

7am-3pm mon.-fri. doesn’t really work for me

i had a little chat with jany today about giving sunday brunch a go, because who wouldn’t like spending their sunday morning/afternoon in a diner dive with cheap homemade food.

if you haven't been to the famous 4th in a while you should go, and if you know someone (with a green card or without) who's never been you should take them.

saturday morning regret/it seemed like a good idea at the time

you find yourself in the gayborhood and wander into more than just ice cream. sadly, their chicken (tough as a dog toy) and waffles don’t hold a candle to merl’s and the “famous” apple pie just leaves you with a “why did i do that” feeling.

thank you

taylor and adam, because when i'm left to my own devices i end up eating brunch at places like day by day.

i have an odd habit of ordering pizza in restaurants where you’re not supposed to order pizza

beau monde has a standout pie. try it.

but you should throw down some extra coin for one of those buttery flaky strawberry pastry twisty things

the nice ladies at mazag will make you an omelet for only 4 bucks

haven’t been to honey’s in awhile

they got into the milkshake business, with ice cream options from here and here.

just say you read it was ok "somewhere"

i don’t know why i’m embarrassed to say i enjoyed my brunch here. but i am, and i did.

440 s broad st

it's fun to say croûton

if you end up at caribou, get the soupe à l’oignon (i understand if you don't want to go there, the manager is such a dick).

between termini brothers and benna’s

a taqueria with an affordable and delicious brunch.

condo cafe

1) have you had the cinnamon bun at cafe estelle? i like the cream cheese icing and the price.

2) coffee called sunday morning from cafe lift. we decided to meet up around noon. while we were catching up he told me the prohibition taproom will open november first.

bowling for brunch

you have to wait till noon, but the corn dog is worth it.

drunk before noon

grab a bottle of this, find a brunch byob, and mimosa
