Situated on a quaint, quiet stretch of Irving Place, the country farmhouse theme is carried out in all aspects of décor and menu. The brunch is hugely popular, but midday lunches and dinners are also pretty packed for the hearty sandwiches and turkey meatloaf. You can even get chocolate milk with your meal. Now, that's country life.

Known primarily for their wicked-popular weekend brunch, for those who can't get enough of their country-fresh baked goods, they've got a counter filled with the stuff. Fresh scones and muffins are just a few of the standouts of their many delicious treats.

The Union Square branch of the popular Belgian bakery, they offer an outstanding selection of fresh-baked breads and buttery-flaky desserts. If you need a quick shot of java, they've got it. They also serve soups, salads and sandwiches at lunchtime.
