"Estimated Wait: An hour on weekends The Payoff: Decent sausage, acceptable eggs, and lacy griddle cakes "No line is as embarrassing as a brunch line. LA transplant Breakfast by Salt's Cure tends to have a line down the block, and I've been coerced to stand in it so many times. I'm a fan, to an extent, but the place excels at just one thing: gooey griddle cakes. Everything else on the menu is so incredibly normal. Are the griddle cakes worth spending a good chunk of your afternoon on an unshaded stretch of 7th Avenue? No chance. Especially when the Brooklyn location has significantly shorter waits." - bryan kim, team infatuation, will hartman, bryan kim, matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary, nick allen, sylvio martins, cathy park, mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer, candis mclean, aimee rizzo
"This all-day cafe in is a popular import from LA. It's known for its oatmeal griddle cakes, which look like pancakes but are pre-sweetened and served without syrup. We're fans, but so is everyone else— so get here early or be prepared to wait in a long line." - bryan kim
"This LA transplant is, hands down, home to some of the most unique and delicious pancakes (technically griddle cakes) in the city. They’re creamy in the middle and crisp around the edges. Hence the line outside. If you arrive at this West Village cafe after 10am on a weekend, expect to wait a minimum of 45 minutes. Alternatively, try the less busy Carroll Gardens outpost." - bryan kim, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, sonal shah
"This all-day cafe in the West Village is a popular import from LA known for its oatmeal griddle cakes, which look like pancakes but are pre-sweetened and served without syrup. The griddle cakes come in varieties like blueberry, banana nut, and chocolate chip, and they're thin and crispy, with a moist consistency reminiscent of undercooked muffin batter. We're fans. As is the case for a lot of breakfast spots (especially in this neighborhood), you should get here early to avoid having to stand in line too long." - molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, kenny yang, carina finn koeppicus
"Before it makes your morning, this breakfast-only LA transplant will do its best to ruin it. Show up at 10am on a Saturday, and you’ll find at least 30 people waiting on the sidewalk. The line moves quicker than you expect, but it still feels excessive for a place that excels at just one thing: gooey griddle cakes. Either wait 40 minutes, or come on a weekday." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
