"Dionne Himmelfarb, who logged time at Canlis, served as executive pastry chef for Ethan Stowell restaurants, and became chief culinary officer at Mt. Joy, is now embarking on a smaller, more personal project in the former Watson’s Counter space: a bakery and brunch spot serving mostly classic breakfast-y dishes (even Dutch babies!) infused with flavors from her native Indonesia, including flans with passion fruit, chocolate croissants with Ovaltine, and waffles with Indonesian fried chicken that’s simmered in oil and spices, then quickly fried for a flavorful, crispy skin." - Harry Cheadle
