gertrude’s

"A Jew(ish) bistro in Prospect Heights known for hosting pop-up events and burger series with guest chefs." - Nadia Chaudhury

"A bistro known for its burger series 'Burgers With Buddies', featuring guest chefs from across New York City." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Eli Sussman is known for his hospitality memes, but his brunch menu at Gertrude’s is just as playful. There’s a “latke bar,” scoop salad (tuna or salmon with tomatoes, onions, and soft egg), whitefish melts, and a Reuben burger. Don’t skip out on cocktails like a Borscht-style bloody mary." - Eater Staff

"The team behind Gertrude’s in Prospect Heights (who also own Gertie in Williamsburg) is running a series of inventive Hannukah specials this year. They’re doing eight nights of “specials” as far as latke toppings go, or you can choose from their daily trout roe with celery creme fraiche or homemade apple sauce and creme fraiche. Under the direction of Eli Sussman, the restaurant also serves latkes year-round, as part of their grand seafood platter or alone as an appetizer." - Eater Staff

"If you often wake up on the UWS on Sundays, watch TV, and eat eggs that are slightly overcooked, you should change up your weekend routine with this all-day Australian cafe on 96th Street. Gertrude opened up at the end of summer 2020, and they’ve been hosting live music most weekend morning - with acts like a guitarist who worked on Cats the musical. It seems reasonable that the only way to improve banana bread and a cortado is by adding in some upright bass. You can stay up to date with their events on Instagram here." - hannah albertine
