The best restaurant in the city! James Beard agrees. :)
A Michelin Star Filipino restaurant with an incredibly affordable breakfast/lunch (dinner is a different story). The breakfast line gets very long and they do not take reservations. However, you can skip the line by ordering ahead of time and taking it to-go. Don’t miss the pastries!
Famous for a reason. The line gets long, but tends to calm down around lunch time. You can’t go wrong, but the smoked ham, brown mustard, & gruyère croissant and the marbled coffee cake are our favs
Our favorite bar in the city! Go in the afternoon and sit at a high top bordering the outside.
