"For brunch with a helping of Upper East Side scene, head to EJ’s Luncheonette. The diner with the blue awning has been privy to countless “Wait, that’s what happened last night?!” conversations since it opened in 1990. Come with a group and split some pancakes in a big, cozy booth, or sit up at the counter. Either way, make sure there’s a matzo ball soup on the table—it’s one of our favorites." - bryan kim, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, sonal shah
