We stopped by Brooklyn Bread cafe on a Wednesday in early September with my brother and his wife. We arrived slightly before 9 and they were quite busy. They have a large and varied menu, so you'll find something you like. All of our food was excellent. When you order, a breakfast bagel sandwich be prepared to tell them what kind of bagel you want it on. My wife had the breakfast bagel with egg and potato. It was so large, she ate half of it and brought the other half home. I had the breakfast burrito on a flour tortilla(there were 3 or 4 types of tortillas to choose from). Brooklyn bagel puts the peppers onions etc in an omelette (not scrambled eggs with a scoop of various other things added in as most places do). The then roll up that omelette with the cheese and salsa in your burrito. This make for makes each bite much the same. I liked it. They have a good coffee also. We ate outside in the shade on a beautiful morning watching people walk their dogs. A great experience! read more

I got a chance to get a Chopped Cheese sandwich with lettuce and tomatoes on a hero roll. for breakfast and it was delicious. I paired it with a Snapple Fruit Punch. It definitely was the perfect combination to start the day. The service was great. It took only a few minutes to get my order. They have many menu options to choose from. It's a small restaurant so not much seating room but I was able sit outside at the little bench areas right outside. Will be back soon for another round! read more

Fire BEC on pumpernickel, the way they wrap up the cheese in the egg is like beautiful honestly. Bagel was nice and fluffy. Got a tropical smoothie too since I just finished a run, and I chose the Tropical Sunshine. It was pretty good and really fresh, although I did wish it was a bit sweeter, not in the sense of extra sugar but I feel the fruits themselves werent as sweet as normal but it still was a great pair to the sandwich. read more

Ok so being 100% honest it wasn't what I expected. It wasn't bad. Just not what I expected. I had a Reuben on ciabatta. It tasted more like a corned beef with Big Mac special sauce. Good but not a Reuben. The wife had some sort of southwestern chicken sandwich that tasted really good. For some reason it came up when I searched for bagels and we weren't too far of a walk away. It had been a long day and it hit the spot. It's a decent sandwich shop but you're better off hitting a deli if you want that NY experience. There's a very small bench area inside so incredibly limited seating. Outside there is seating and a few pigeons. Walking distance from ground zero and the 9/11 museum. I should have taken some food pics. The pigeons were more fun. read more

The holy grail of delicious bagels and sandwiches! Came here after reading other reviews and so glad we did. I had the bacon, egg and cheese on a garlic bagel and my friend ordered a chopped cheese sandwich is pretty much like a ground beef, adobo and cheese sandwich with lettuce and tomatoes on a hero roll. They have great service as well. It's a small place so not much room to sit for large parties or strollers so we sat out at the little bench areas near by. I am definitely coming back here anytime I'm in NYC Go here for breakfast or lunch, you won't regret it !!! read more

Unassuming and hard to find if you aren't looking. It is a narrow shop so if more than 5-7 people are in here it would be packed. It is a small spot but packs a punch. They have freshly made cookies which I has. The churro nutella were awesome and I would reorder. The muffins looked delicious as well. I would however go with the bagels. Large fluffy and delicious. The turkey sandwich I got on a bagel was lovely. Would definitely come back. read more

Nice bagel spot in lower Manhattan near the World Trade Center. The service was quick, the bagels crunchy and big, and they have a rather large menu to choose from. One of these will keep you full most of the day. The coffee was good too. Only drawback, there were only a few stools for indoor seating so we sat outside. Still it's a good place to grab a bagel breakfast. read more

Ordered on their website. 15 minute pick up time ended up being 38. It was a quicker wait for the people who ordered in the store - saw one girl get in and out in 20 minutes. Very little room to stand and wait inside. The people working there were definitely rushing and doing a good job getting things out, but would've appreciated a better ETA. Felt like there could've been more meat on the sandwich. And they forgot an ingredient I paid extra for. Disappointing. read more

For the sake of consistency, I will continue moving the line on giving this restaurant a five star review, even if some of the food items do not necessarily warrant it. As you know, I give new restaurants a fair shake by trying multiple things on the menu. Given this is largely a sandwich shop, I got both a Chopped Cheese, and a plain bagel with cream cheese and lox. You can probably see where I am going with this. Anytime you order a Chopped Cheese outside of Hajji's, you have to lower your standards. This applies. It is not bad by any means, but it lacks a little of what makes Hajji's special. At least it is a full sandwich, though it could use a bit more cheese to bind it all together. The chopped beef spills out way too easily here. The bagel? Outstanding. The cream cheese and lox? Even more outstanding. The bagel is fluffy, crunchy, chewy, light, and very easy to eat. It felt hand rolled, I almost forgot I was eating a bagel as I was eating this. The cream cheese layer and lox is spread beautifully and are in equal parts. I was expecting a huge mess, and I ended up with one that required very little, if any napkins on my part. They also offer bakery items, but those are just bonuses if they are good. Nothing is added or detracted. If it was a pastry shop it would get weighed in. Since bread is the primary focus of the restaurant that is what I am going to primarily judge. The restaurant has very little indoor seating, but that is okay too. Outside has plenty of seating that is shaded and protects you from the elements. If I had the time, I would have taken advantage of this. They also offer breakfast and brunch options throughout the day. I am going to have to try one of them eventually. For the bagels, I can happily endorse. Everything else is passable. However, I promised to maintain consistency, and that is why this is getting a five star review instead of a four star review. read more

Food wise...compliments to the chef(s)! So far what I have ordered has tasted really yummy. Customer service wise.. it's awkward. There is a young girl there (all Hispanic workers) who is very antisocial and has poor customer service skills. She is very dismissed and depending on who you are, she attends to you or not with a smile. This is the second time I waited almost 20-30 minutes for my order. She's so inattentive and appears to give attention to other customers (noticeably the white/caucasian customers.) Today, I was waiting there 20 minutes of an order I placed 10 minutes in advance (total 30 minutes) and she had it at the counter all along. Handed it to me once I approached the manager to ask about my order, and she dismissively handed it to me and turned around not even apologizing. Not sure what her problem is, bc I have always been respectful of all the staff there. But she always has an attitude towards me for some reason. So unprofessional. Funny thing is I'm the paying customer, and their prices are not cheap! So they should be more gracious to anyone who uses their facility. read more

Every signature sandwich on the menu is custom-made, with every recipe carefully crafted by the founders themselves. Today, fueled by their dedication and vision, they are preparing to expand, open additional locations, and explore franchising opportunities to bring Brooklyn Bread flavor to even more communities. Come in for a bite and taste the difference! Thank you :)

Think vintage wallpaper, little knick-knacks, and warm lighting. It's got character. I ordered the market salad with mixed greens, honeycrisp apples, goat cheese, candied pecans, and sherry vinaigrette. It was a hearty portion - super fresh and flavorful, and honestly more than I could finish (not a complaint!). I also ordered a Diet Pepsi with grenadine; they don't carry Diet Coke, which I almost docked a point for, but the mix was unexpectedly delicious. Highly recommend it. My date ordered the hanger steak and said it was absolutely amazing. Only hiccup: his first glass of wine he got came out hot... like, microwave-level warm. Fortunately, the server brought a new (cold) one and the rest of the meal was smooth sailing. Service was friendly, the vibe was homey and relaxed, and the food was solid across the board. Would definitely come back, especially for that salad and another round of grenadine magic.

Aside from that, we had a fantastic experience here at Friedmans Herald Square near Penn Station. They were playing Hilary Duff music, which was such a fun touch since they often match the vibe of whatever is happening at MSG! They even had special Hilary Duff mocktails. The atmosphere is super sweet and cozy. The restaurant was empty when we first walked in, but the second we sat down, it completely packed up! The waiter was very friendly, and even though they weren't able to split the check at the table, they did provide an itemized receipt to make figuring it out easy. The food was great overall--the Mac & Cheese bites and the corn were especially good! We also tried the cheesecake and molten cake. Plus, the neighbors sitting next to us were so sweet. A wonderful spot with a fun vibe!

We were looking for a place not to far from our hotel to have a couple drinks before we met up…read morefriends and we found this place. The inside looked really nice with some nice pictures on the wall and lots of space for seating. They also have a downstairs that has a bar and plenty of seating. We just ordered a few Aperol Spritz and chilled at the bar. The drinks tasted really good. Hard to mess that up but you never know. They had music playing from something in the background which was really good. The bartenders were alway asking if we needed anything so that was good. We didn't order any food but the plates that we saw looked really good. Definitely a place you need to check out if your looking for a cool spot to drink and get some bites to eat. They also have a good happy hour and from the looks of it a nice brunch with bottomless mimosas. Have to come check out this place if your in town or live near the area.

My objective was to find a bar for happy hour in Midtown East. In my rarely treading over to the…read moreeast side these days and wanting to avoid Grand Central I searched a little through google maps what was nearby Murray Bro Hill/Kips Bay area and this spot popped up and I remembered wanting to check out their brunch but never did. It's $25 for unlimited drinks plus food by the way. Which is sad is a deal these days. Anyway, their happy hour is solid enough for a Monday and was meeting up with a friend I hadn't seen in over a year. Place is actually very cute. There are no tvs which I appreciate and the paneling of the walls and decor with all the flowers is quite tasteful. Happy hour deals 4-7pm Mon-Fri & all night Thursday apparently: Aperol Spritz $8, Hugo Spritz $9, Paloma $10, Mules $9, Draft Beers (except Guinness) $7, House Wine $9. As well as 2 Appetizer Bites for $19.95. Not the best but not the worst. I'm normally not a Spritz kind of gal. I think watering down prosecco or wine is heinous. But it was a Monday and I didn't exactly feel like powering down into happy hour so Aperol Spritz it was which switched to a Modelo later. It was the perfect drink situation on a god awful hot as hell day. We also ordered the fish tacos and what initially were the curry fries but they brought out the Greek fries. I wasn't mad about it. Honestly was torn between the two and I don't send food back unless something really bad happened. But it was essentially a side of Caesar salad dressing with feta cheese and generous amount of herbs on a very sparse and frugal amount of crispy standard cut fries. Now I know why it's a 2 for $20 deal. The tacos were 3 in an order which I guess is typical. They weren't bad but nothing stood out to me. I'd come for the drinks or try something else on the menu.

So, it was our first stop given the hour and proximity to our hotel. Note - I have been to Katz before. We arrived and were seated immediately. The place was not very full so it was fairly quiet. I am guessing Katz at 7 on a Saturday night would be packed. Our server could not have been more friendly. She was awesome. She's worked there for 7 years. I ordered the pastrami sandwich with French fries. It also came with Coleslaw and pickles. My wife got 1/2 a Reuben with vegetable soup and coleslaw and pickles. The fries and coleslaw were excellent. The sandwiches were very good but a notch below Katz. I do recommend giving them a shot. The place exudes character and history.

It's not just a little cup of soup that most places serve. A bowl so big I asked our waitress if that's what comes with the combo. Both the mushroom barley and matzoh ball have improved since last time. As far as the sandwich, listen to me: get pastrami. It's delicious. The way I see it, most diners serve corned beef, but few places have pastrami. And Sarge's does it right. (My husband, btw did not listen. He had corned beef and loved it.) My cousin asked why I don't go to Katz's. I'm not waiting on line -- sometimes it's pretty long -- their dining room gets noisy and frankly, I'm happy here!

Not sure if it was worth the wait though. Service was good, noticed that many others had an unpleasant experience, but the lady who took my order was kind and did not scam me! Overall it's not really worth the hype to watch a man pour coffee from a machine. Yes, it's a place to buy a nice cup of coffee, but only if there's little to no line.

It was 100% worth standing in line in the humid weather, and I'd do it all over again! The drink was perfectly salty, incredibly creamy, and I could actually taste those delicious brown butter notes. Of course, it's not the strongest coffee-wise, which is something I usually prefer in my everyday coffee, but as a treat it's absolutely perfect!

It was busy, so after paying, you get a cute ticket--hand it to the barista for the viral latte!

Hamburger America

A Michelin-Star-Level Egg Salad Sandwich…read more This update focuses on the egg salad sandwich, which stole the show on my most recent visit. I ordered the egg salad sandwich on toasted whole-wheat bread, and it was outstanding. The flavor and texture were, in my opinion, Michelin-star level. Visually, it was almost a work of art: the egg salad had a beautiful, vibrant yellow color, thanks to the addition of yellow mustard and the use of high-quality eggs. What makes the sandwich particularly impressive is how simple the recipe is. The egg salad is based on George Motz's mother's classic recipe, made with just hard-boiled eggs, yellow mustard, and quality mayonnaise. Sometimes, keeping things simple is the secret to making something exceptional. I chose the express line and headed to the first-come, first-served seating area in the back. I quickly found a window seat, which gave me a great view of the constant SoHo hustle and bustle--the perfect setting for enjoying lunch. There are also several options for customizing your experience. You can order the egg salad on white or wheat bread, toasted or untoasted. And if you can't decide between egg salad and tuna salad, there's the off-menu "Jonathan," which combines half egg salad and half tuna salad in the same sandwich. Another option is the Salad Plate, which comes with a scoop of both egg salad and tuna salad served with Ritz crackers. As always, the restaurant was spotless, and the service was efficient, friendly, and consistently excellent. For me, though, the star of this visit was unquestionably the egg salad sandwich--simple ingredients, beautifully executed, and absolutely delicious.

It was busy but not overcrowded, and we found a table outside. When you arrive, you order at the counter inside, receive a number, and then find a seat while your meal is prepared fresh. A server brings your food to your table once it is ready, it only took about 5-7 minutes for our food to arrive. I ordered the "All the Way" burger, their classic smash burger with mustard, diced onions, dill pickles, and cheese, along with fries and a gluten-free bun. The total came to about $17, including tax and tip. The burger was delicious. Smash burgers are my favorite, and this one was cooked perfectly with crispy edges while still moist. I also really appreciate that they offer a gluten-free bun. The burger and fries were a satisfying portion without feeling overly heavy. This is a casual spot, but it consistently delivers delicious food at a reasonable price. If you are looking for a classic smash burger in the neighborhood, I would recommend. I will certainly be back!
