"The Park Slope location of Miriam gets absolutely mobbed on weekends, but the newer one on the Upper West Side isn’t that tough to get into. It still gets busy, and you’ll probably have to wait a few minutes for your table—but just put your name in and stick around. This place is worth it. The Israeli food is simple, well-executed, and great for sharing. Cover your table in shakshuka, silky hummus, and a few dense, flaky burekas. The space is bright and casual (with a bar in the back for solo dining), and it’s perfect for any kind of brunch scenario." - bryan kim
