Came here on a whim for brunch! Reminds me of classic breakfast fanfare with an almost “thanksgiving vibe”? The best part not photographed may have been the donuts we had at the end of our meal. They make special donuts each week with different flavours and one that was absolutely delicious was the corn cream! Not sure what it was called but make sure to ask about their donuts at the end of your meal (if you have room). Do not underestimate the portion sizing - you will not leave hungry.

A big fan of the bagel scene here in NYC. The best I’ve had so far has been at Russ and Daughters. The selection is fresh and vibes are light and immaculate with an ode to the restaurant’s history. A big yes to their classic nova board (deconstructed lox bagel) and their potato latkes are fire! We also had to have their pumpernickel bagel with scallion cream cheese - simple but so satisfying. Waiting on our next visit.

Came to the deli to pick up a sandwich for lunch. It was our first time, and we asked the store manager for his suggestion. We ended up picking up the Sammy Davis Junior which is filled with pastrami and pickles. We were between a few different sandwiches, and when we were picking up our order, we were actually also given a medium sized Sammy the Ham to try for free! The staff were very friendly and helpful. The bread was crispy on the outside like your classic sandwich bread and the filling was tasty but the portion could have been more generous. We are curious about the other flavours and would return to try the others.
