"For a quick, casual brunch, Good Thanks is a great option. This spot with a location on the Lower East Side has everything you expect from an Australian cafe: avocado toast, flat whites and green juice, a spare interior that won’t exacerbate your hangover, etc. Try the whipped ricotta or get the burger, which tastes like a better version of something you’d snag from a drive-thru." - bryan kim, carina finn koeppicus, will hartman, sonal shah
"You ran into a high school classmate a couple of weeks ago, and it turns out you both live in the same neighborhood, a fact which for some reason inspired you to declare, “We should totally get together!” Try this little Australian cafe on the Lower East Side. It opens at 8am every day, and the food is pretty good - especially the kimchi scrambled eggs that come piled on a piece of sourdough (add bacon). There’s even a Happy Hour that starts at 2pm, which means you can get your meet-up out of the way early and move on with your day." - bryan kim
"For a neighborhood with so many nighttime spots that ensure cottonmouth and a longing for blue Gatorade, the LES doesn’t have many places to get a casual, healthy breakfast or lunch the next day. One solid option is Good Thanks, an all-day Australian cafe serving granola bowls with things like algae, collagen, and mixed fruit. If you’re not interested in ingredients that sound like they belong in a biology textbook, there are also plenty of other options (like a chicken caesar salad and a raw tuna bowl), as well as wine and beer if you need a little hair of the dog." - matt tervooren
"If Good Thanks sounds like the sort of place that would serve avocado toast and smoothies with collagen, that’s because it is. It’s yet another Australian coffee shop in a narrow little space on the Lower East Side, and there are plenty of healthier options here. Grain bowls, for example, and also zucchini fritters. If you’re in the mood for some granola with fruit and algae, they have that, too. Come for a quick daytime meal, or stop by when you don’t want to wait for a table at Russ & Daughters Cafe (which is next door)." - bryan kim, matt tervooren
"Concord Hill is a neighborhood spot in Williamsburg where you can eat a burger and some oysters for lunch or dinner, or fried eggs with andouille sausage during weekend brunch. For New Year’s Eve, they’re selling five-course dinner boxes for two. Each one comes with a few apps (like foie gras terrine and lobster salad), mushroom pasta, beef bourguignon, a chocolate mousse cake, as well as two infused cocktails and a bottle of sparkling wine. Make sure you place your order before Wednesday, December 30th at 7pm." - hannah albertine
