Zhora Darling

"True, Zhora Darling is a late-night spot, but it also serves a killer brunch. Start with an order of waffle-battered breakfast sausages (served with a subtly fiery ancho maple syrup) or Nutella zeppole doughnuts — mains include French toast stuffed with a berry cream cheese; biscuits and gravy; and “eggs Zhoratine,” with Hollandaise and a smoked tomato jam, among other dishes. Easy a la carte add-ons like biscuits, fruit, breakfast sausage, and hash browns round out the meal. Even better, there are bottomless mimosas (and other breezy brunch cocktails)." - Eater Staff

"Eric Odness and partners — who also own two Brooklyn dive bars — in Brooklyn, opened Zhora Darling in September, bringing a promising spot for late-night food, cocktails, pool, and live music to Northeast. The cocktail list is balanced, offering both craft options andalso offering Negronis, Old Fashioneds, and margaritas on tap, while the food menu offers small plates (think blistered shishitos and habanero-honey wings) plus bigger dishes like eggplant parm and vegan fried chicken. The kitchen stays open until 1 a.m." - Eater Staff

"The headline for Zhora Darling on 1st Avenue NE? The kitchen stays open late. That’s a big deal these days, especially when the menu includes small plates like charred shishitos and green pea falafel; bigger plates like watermelon salad with shrimp; and grass-fed burgers with grilled pineapple, pickled beets, and a sunny side up egg. Eric Odness and partners, who also own neighborhood dive bars in Brooklyn, opened Zhora Darling in 2023, bringing a cool, promising spot for food, cocktails, pool, and live music to town. Food is served til 1 a.m. every day; drinks until 2 a.m." - Justine Jones, Eater Staff
