 Best Sunday Brunch
Executive chef Jennifer Maloney changes her Sunday brunch menu each week, but the three most popular choices remain standards: the raisin-brioche French toast, a crab-cake Benedict smothered in the city's most luxurious hollandaise sauce, and the American Kobe corned-beef hash (with eggs and that absurdly good hollandaise). In fact, brunch is the ideal way to sample Maloney's wide-ranging culinary talents, which neatly complement the ambitious, eclectic art in this bright space. Seafood dishes are usually available, as is a gorgeously marbled rib-eye (served with eggs and spuds), and you can count on at least one rich pasta creation. Afterward, stroll through the galleries and feel visually satisfied as well.

palette of ‘fresh, local, seasonal and creative’ New American cuisine (the ‘food they probably serve in heaven’); patrons praise ‘relaxed’ servers too, while pointing out to prodigious partiers that ‘nighttime hours are limited’”
