Belga Cafe

Classic brunch spot with a nice variety of options but wasn’t too memorable. I wanted to like the dishes more - waffles were nice and crispy but toppings made it overly sweet. We got a cornbread waffle too which was good but not a wow. Overall felt like this was maybe just a step up from a good homemade brunch, which is maybe exactly what some people are looking for. We loved the venue - sat on the roof which felt so cozy and bright. Prices are a little expensive for what it is, especially beverages.
A good experience if you’re looking to try a lot of different Balkan-inspired dishes. Its unlimited tapas so come with an empty stomach. It’s hard to make every dish on such an expansive menu special but really appreciated the small serving sizes so you could try more variety. My favorite was probably the flatbread pizzas and the beef short rib goulash.

Outstanding dining experience, one of my favorites this year. Loved the open and roomy feel of the restaurant and the menu has a great variety of options. We enjoyed basically everything we tried, especially the goat hummus, lamb medallions, and the squash! Hope to come back again as the menu changes seasonally. A little expensive but great quality of food and service.
Thai Plate

All things considered the food here hits the spot if you’re looking for Thai but it wasn’t anything particularly special. We got a green curry (yummy, very predictable) and a crispy duck pad kee mao (duck was great, but unfortunately they don’t have the flat wide noodles). Their spice level does get pretty authentically spicy though. Serving sizes are very generous and very quick and friendly service.
Bierhaus NYC

Randomly ended up here for a Sunday lunch and we were one of just two parties in the space - so you definitely didn’t get the typical beer house atmosphere and for some reason service was still kind of slow despite how empty it was. That said, the food was a pleasant surprise! Hard to do pretzel and bratwurst wrong (both tasty) but I was most surprised by the crispy pork knuckle - flavorful, not too fatty, tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. Pairs super well with the side sauerkraut and pickled onions! Note the restaurant is on the second floor up a set of steep stairs (not sure if there was an elevator).
