I loved ABC Kitchen the minute I walked in. The outside of the restaurant is not flashy, so it is easy to walk right by. I’ve gone a couple of times for brunch, which is a great time to go (but a difficult time to get a table). The food is as local and organic as possible, and everything tastes fresh and flavorful. I’ve tried the french toast with cherries, seasonal donuts, and Eggs Benedict with flying pigs farm ham, and my sister swears by the housemade yogurt and granola with housemade jam. ABC Kitchen is definitely worth going to if you are in NYC. If you can’t get in, I recommend trying The Standard Grill.
