"For going on 15 years, this den of eclecticism located in an old mortuary has served global fusion like no place else in town. At brunch, the kitchen might mash up French and Mexican food in the form of churro pain perdu with salted cream-cheese foam and hot chocolate sauce; give eggs Benedict a Korean twist with galbi and kimchi hollandaise; or serve Indian uttapam with lentil korma, tomato chutney, and maple syrup. And the bar follows suit, serving baharat-spiced Old Fashioneds alongside rum- and Sherry-spiked Thai tea. (Meanwhile, Linger’s not the only Edible Beats property that does a bang-up brunch: Root Down, located in a midcentury gas station, rocks the carrot-bread French toast and scrambled tofu with black lentil curry.)" - Ruth Tobias
