"This East Village Texan spot is great at any hour, but we especially like coming for brunch, which feels like a collab between IHOP and Dolly Parton with floral wallpaper and mismatched old lamps. Get a cocktail and a few kolaches to start, then stock up on tacos, like the smoked bacon and carne guisada on fresh flour tortillas. They also serve a rotating menu of incredibly light and fluffy doughnuts on weekends." - bryan kim, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, sonal shah
