Foursome

Last year, four friends decided to open a restaurant in the West Village. Fittingly, they named it Foursome. Personal touches from the tetrad themselves are found throughout the restaurant, including a black, white, and yellow mural of the group steering a ship and images of one of the owner's dogs, donning a crown on its head—as all good boys (and girls) deserve. But the restaurant has become a favorite of the neighborhood for its all-day menu of eats that flit across the Mediterranean, with special attention to the Turkish region, given that the kitchen is run by three Turkish chefs. Following the ethos that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, the restaurant whips up an Aegean brunch option that really puts on the works—think a bread basket of sourdough and simit (a Turkish bagel), feta and halloumi cheeses, tiny bowls of olives, jams and fresh honeycomb and a hot pot of Turkish tea to split.
