"With its terracotta floor and wooden ceiling beams, this Williamsburg spot is probably what George Clooney’s second home in Italy looks like. You can get a lot of brunchy things like avocado toast and shakshuka here, but the malted pancakes stand out as the “one of these things is not like the other” dish. They have a muffin-like texture and come with a slightly salty hazelnut maple praline topping that you spread like a jam." - molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, kenny yang, carina finn koeppicus
