"Gertie is an attractive spot with big windows, a pastel color scheme, and a large mural of kitchen utensils and abstract (yet comforting) shapes. It’s open all day, but we prefer it in the daytime when it’s counter-service and the space feels like a big, happy California-themed diorama full of people pretending to enjoy their green juice. Stop by and grab a BEC on a bialy the next time you go for a run around Bedford Avenue and work up an appetite shouting at tourists." - bryan kim
