Ursula

Ursula's New Mexico-style breakfast burritos were enough to cause a safe but socially distanced frenzy when it debuted in 2020. One pandemic and one move later, and Ursula has become a well-known haunt among Bed-Stuy locals for its Southwestern specialties. But here, owner/chef Eric See is doing much more than putting food on a plate. 

Building advocacy into the root of his business, Ursula has served as a home base of queer cookery. Hosted events at the New Mexican restaurant have included a takeout series staffed by LGBTIA+ chefs to Queer Cowboy Dinners. Paired with pop-ups that pair nationwide talent with a social justice bent, Ursula embodies the golden model of a restaurant that gives back. But if you happen to prefer that your justice comes with a side of breakfast burritos, pancakes with blue corn flour cooked right in and fried chicken coated in actually authentic green chili, well, you'll get that too.
