"The Penrose is from the people behind the The Wren in Noho. Like that spot, this place is a cross between a restaurant and a bar, and it can often feel like a clubhouse for single young professionals who occasionally eat avocado toast. The brunch menu consists of a few small plates like breakfast sausage corn dogs and fried pickles, in addition to everything from shrimp and grits to a grain bowl. If the agenda for your Saturday is day drinking, this is a good spot to kick things off." - will hartman, sonal shah, willa moore
