Keith McNally protégé Dean Jankelowitz (Schiller's, Pastis, Balthazar) is behind this morning-to-evening café. The 40-seat restaurant—sporting dark-green leather banquettes, brass railings and marble counters—serves homey fare, like Jankelowitz's grandmother's matzo ball soup made with duck fat, a skirt steak sandwich served alongside hand-cut fries, and piri-piri-hot-sauce-marinated chicken kebabs. In the morning, find Stumptown coffee, homemade croissants and full breakfast plates, including soft-boiled eggs with challah "soldiers" (strips).

This place is awesome-it's exactly what you need in the big city, great food, great vibe, warma and inviting. It's like everything I've ever eaten there was prepared especially for me-fresh and just plain good. My new favorite spot-any time of the day. Oh, and the staff and owners are very warm too-but not in an in your face way, cool vibe all around.

Are you looking for an affordable, homey, and delicious brunch spot in NYC? Jack's Wife Freda may be what you are after. I went there last weekend and it was perfect. The place is small, cozy, filled with younger crowd and their food was phenomenal. I ordered their Jack's Breakfast, which comes with Grilled Strip Steak, 2 Eggs (I ordered poached eggs), Grilled Tomato, Pickled Red Onions and Sourdough Toast. The steak was perfectly cooked to order (medium) and their poached eggs were really something else. I took lots of photos: www.gothamfoodporn.com
