The brunch menu here features all things NYC, and some of our favorites are:
Buffalo Chicken Sandwich – the chicken breast is perfectly grilled and juicy, and the buffalo sauce is slightly sweet with a spicy afternote. Served with fried, the sandwich is your typical New York brunch food.
The Chicken Wings here are to die for. You get to choose between two different flavor options – Whiskey & Cola BBQ -Buffalo Hot Sauce, and Spicy Korean BBQ-Cajun Dry Rub. We’re a fan of the tang, spiciness, umaminess, and slight sweetness from the latter.
