The Scene
With its wooden floors, antique soda fountain and artwork in childlike colors, Briarpatch is one of the most casual eateries on Park Avenue. The waitstaff, mostly college-aged, sometimes get so involved in chatting with each other that service can suffer.
The Food
The turkey Reuben, thinly sliced turkey piled with sauerkraut, is one of the best sandwiches available and comes with thick home fries. The Chicken Briarpatch--grilled strips of chicken and artichoke hearts cooked in light cream sauce and served over an ample portion of angel hair pasta--is also worth trying. Breakfast dishes are unique (egg-white omelet platter anyone?) and hearty. Homemade desserts, showcased in a rotating glass cabinet, are a highlight, not to mention the fresh ice cream. Although chocolate lovers may want to try the layer cake, you can't go wrong with a plate-sized slab of moist red velvet cake with sour cream icing; it's more than enough to share. Steer clear, however, of the egg creme.
