Brunch destination with comfort food mains and cocktails
"Penelope is by far the most in-demand brunch destination in Kips Bay. Stacked blueberry pancakes, generous burgers with thick patties, and home fries served with any variety of eggs are some of the hit dishes here. The food isn’t revolutionary by any means, but the spot has been around for over a decade (despite a brief closure before the pandemic) and its farmhouse design doesn’t feel like a run-of-the-mill all-day cafe selling avocado toast." - Bao Ong
"Brunch is the main attraction at this bright comfort food joint, where mains like Nutella French toast and biscuits with gravy are accompanied by a brunch cocktail for $21 a pop. A la carte options include a chorizo egg sandwich, pumpkin waffles, and smoked salmon-wrapped poached eggs. Expect familiar fare come lunch and dinner, including mac and cheese, chicken meatballs, fish and chips, and chicken pot pie. Also expect long waits." - Alexandra Ilyashov
