Best Brunch
City Bakery
3 West 18th Street
212-366-1414
THE VIBE
The mellow mezzanine above the salad-bar fray has banquettes, bowling-alley chairs, and, on Sundays, table service.
THE DISH
Reconstructed classics, from salami and eggs to congee. And dueling French toasts, in sweet and savory versions.
EYE OPENER
A shot of creamy hot chocolate, the tart and tangy lemonade of the day, or a beer float stout with a scoop of molasses ice cream.
