"Chef Elhadji Cisse of decade-old Harlem favorite Ponty Bistro, among others, added another restaurant to the fold last fall with the opening of PB Brasserie, located two blocks from the famed Apollo Theater. Head here for fluffy buttermilk pancakes, French toast with strawberries and chantilly cream, steak and eggs, and more. Note that this spot is well-suited to late breakfasting — doors open at 11 a.m. daily." - Melissa McCart
