"If you figure out a way to get eggs and pancakes in the park, please teach us. In the meantime, the next-best option is eating brunch at Reunion a couple blocks away. This Israeli cafe serves breakfast options like avocado toast and shakshuka, as well as heavier dishes like chicken shawarma and a schnitzel sandwich. Ask for one of the outdoor tables, and if there’s a wait, grab a coffee and walk around the McCarren Park Greenmarket down the block." - matt tervooren
