My friend Mikayla brought Kiyo and me to brunch this summer at Clinton Street Baking Company & Restaurant on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Extremely popular with locals and tourists alike, the restaurant is puzzlingly small but has a cozy diner atmosphere. Obviously, they make great food! Mikayla had a crab cake Benedict, which was huge! Served with tomato and spinach on a biscuit, this looked awesome and tasted good too (according to Mikayla – I don’t like crab so I didn’t taste it).
My eggs Benedict with chopped tomatoes and scallions was much smaller; but it came with tons of bacon and I ate it all! I loved that the biscuit was grilled to give it a little crunch.
Kiyo downed his grilled chicken sandwich, with avocado, french fries and coleslaw, in record time, so he obviously had no complaints! The bread was really soft and fresh (I stole a bite!)
