I wish you could have tried Oko while you were in park slope since you did that whole frozen yogurt thing a while back. It beats the pants off pinkberry

Jonathan: First off, I envy you from the get-go by living in a brownstone! (I like old school architecture.) Anyway, I guess you should go there really late since I went there 30-40 minutes before they end brunch.

Thanks for the photos compliment!

Becky: Go get some FOOD now!
How downtown (and are we talking about Manhattan?) are you?

oh man, now i’m really craving some Israeli or Mediterranean or Middle Eastern food. Since you know NYC pretty well, are there any such places you can recommend more downtown? That’s where i intern.

This is so interesting to me as a reader b/c you’re talking about being a tourist up the street from me. i live a few brownstones up from miriam and, to be honest, can’t stand the wait every weekend for brunch so i’ve never been during that time. But, there is obviously a reason why there’s always lots of people waiting at 1PM on a sat. or sunday! great pictures. they have wonderful dinners – a bit skimpy w/ the portion sides for the price, but extremely delicious.

great post!

Danny: Go to Miriam! Their food is rustic and quite good.

You should go there late, like I have met up with Ariel and my girl friends around 3:30, when it’s practically empty. Well, then again it was INSANELY hot outside that weekend that I doubt anyone really wanted to be out…except for the beach.

Man, I gotta get down to Miriams! It is ALWAYS packed on the weekends for brunch. Maybe I can go late or something… you know I’ve walked by it countless times in my 4 yrs in Park Slope and never went into that place. DOH!

Amanda: Israeli food is tasty. I just need to eat more of this cuisine since I’m still not too familiar with it except for falafels (which I LOVE at Taim).

The Not Hot is a chocolate shake but it’s not as creamy.

Brownie: Thanks! You should try Trois Pommes! It’s a cute, neighborhood bakery, unlike most bakeries in NYC lack that homey character. (Magnolia doesn’t count since you can’t sit in and I don’t like their cupcakes).

Oh, excellent choices! Miriam is a brunch favorite of mine. I usually go with the Israeli Breakfast or the Shakshuka. The Bureka is my husband’s fav and probably the best value.

We hit up the Chocolate Room fairly frequently as well. I haven’t had the eclair, but all of the other specials I’ve tried have been delicious.

I’ve been wanting to try Trois Pommes for awhile. After reading about your experience, I’m definitely going to check them out!

I’ve never had Israeli food before so seeing your plates was really interesting. And that chocolate room looks really cute. The Not Hot looks like a nice chocolate milkshake, give or take lethal amounts of cream and milk.
