Don't let the name fool you. This is one the the best brunch spots in the UWS. Everything is great but the grits, old fashioned root beer, and (of course) the pickles are not to be missed.

Toast

Their Tom Yom soup is what is what I crave when I'm sick (so lemony and spicy). The ginger chicken and coconut rice are a very delicious combo. The pad thai... not so much.
