"If you want to get a noteworthy pastry, you don’t have to visit some Noho bakery with a line down the block. M&S has enough desserts on hand to supply every birthday party in the neighborhood, and they open at 7am daily. Pick up a turnover filled with a sweet guava filling, and grab a table if you want to stick around for a full sit-down meal. This Ridgewood restaurant is about as casual as a coffee shop, but they serve a surprisingly large selection of food, including rotisserie chicken, various soups, and a bandeja with sausage and perfectly runny eggs." - Bryan Kim
