A wise bet for brunch in the LES, this charmer most assuredly benefits from having a bakery attached to it ... Actually, it's the customers who are the true beneficiaries, thanks to dandies like old-fashioned buttermilk biscuits, blueberry pancakes and brioche French toast. If you're counting carbs, don't sweat it – they also serve up a wicked farmer's frittata, huevos rancheros and a build-it-yourself omelet. Despite the place's popularity and upscale digs (it's a diner, sure, but a very contemporary one), its "mom-n-pop bakery" attitude is refreshingly constant. NB Credit cards accepted at dinner only.
