The Scene
Open since the 1920s, this old-school diner has been retooled for the avant-garde brunch crowd. On the sunny street-side patio, locals linger over ''organic-when-possible'' fare, while speed-eaters perch on one of the dozen stools at the narrow inside counter of the tiny one-room eatery.

The Food
Since taking over this beloved greasy spoon in late 2001, restauranteur Bruce Marder has created a menu of anything-but-standard diner fare that ranges from a burrata-caprese omelette to a tuna-arugula salad. Noteworthy: Plate-sized orange pancakes, infused with a delicate citrus aroma and stuffed with blueberries; and the Mediterranean omelette with eggplant and zucchini. Other dishes include a hearty cup of steel-cut oatmeal boosted by raisins and milk, and an egg-white vegetable frittata filled with fresh veggies.
