"Essayer le cheesecake (T 25)"

@maylis.fr

"Bib Gourmand 2025 (new) You have room for one more dish, right? It’s a question that will come up often at this sweet little diner in Crown Heights. Chef Jeremy Salamon takes inspiration (and the restaurant’s name) from his Hungarian grandmother for a delightfully casual but fine-tuned effort. With walls painted cupcake pink, the kitchen has a real talent for bread. A thick slide of grilled potato pullman bread smeared with whipped chicken liver mousse topped with sour cherry caramel is a decadent treat, while a bowl of savory chicken broth bobbing with nokdeli, or Hungarian dumplings,will cure your ails. Yes, there are crepes — thin, delicate and none too sweet — but there’s also cheesecake."

"Un desayuno húngaro en Nueva York? Pues claro. O más o menos. Aquí hay que compartir unos medio crepes medio tortitas que bañan en mermelada de arándanos y a la que le ponen un lingote de mantequilla de sombrero. Pero no se puede ir uno sin probar sus huevos rellenos y un sándwich de atún que llega a la mesa con piparras. Pilla justo al lado de Prospect Park, que Central Park fenomenal, pero este parque tiene una extensión de hierba gigantesca por la que pasear una mañana feliz."

"Charming café/bistrot with a brief yet buzzy menu. Welcoming, relaxed vibes, great for catch-ups and Sunday brunches. Really like the counter. Hungarian‑Austrian Jewish cooking, with great pastries. All very well crafted. Seasonal menu with recurring highlights - which are the standout items: Tuna melt (must), Palacsinta crepes, Leberkäse sandwich. Pricier side, but reasonable. FD: Confit Tuna Melt (must); Leberkäse sandwich; Green Devils. Michelin Bib Gourmand 2023"

"Sitting in a snug corner of this breakfast, lunch, and dinner spot in Brooklyn, you’ll be inclined to feel like you’re being cared for by your very culinarily talented Jewish grandmother. The menu, influenced heavily by Eastern European traditions, allows you to have both a glass of cold borscht and some truly excellent Hungarian baked goods, like fluffy knots of dough called Ferdinand buns. At night a generous pour of natural wine leads into unfussy plates of chicken liver mousse, spaetzle mac and cheese, and a hefty slice of New York–style cheesecake that will remind you you’re still in Brooklyn. What to order: For weekday breakfast and lunch: Confit Tuna Melt ($17); Glass of Cold Pink Borscht ($9); assorted pastries ($5–$10). For summer dinner, menu changes seasonally: Chicken Liver Mousse ($12); Dill Spaetzle Mac ($20); Cod Croquettes ($28); New York Style Cheesecake ($13)."

"Charming spot with amazing jewish-twist food and natural wine; get the pâté toast and cheesecake"

@cocospagna

"Eastern European cuisine, joining brunch pop-up Dacha 46 and more recently, Evi’s Bäckerei in Prospect Heights. His first restaurant — named Agi’s Counter, after his paternal grandmother — draws on his Jewish American heritage with gerbeaud cake (made with apricot gam and chocolate ganache), Ferdinand buns, and other pastries. Time a visit around lunchtime, when the Ritzy Titzy — a fun-to-say riff on the Waldorf Salad — and other sandwiches are served."

@

"Good pastry tradition (New Yorker)"

@

"The leberkäse ($15) seems to be the most frequently recommended: A breakfast sandwich worthy of NYC canon that places a thick slice of pork pâté, pear mostarda and a fried egg between two hearty hearty slices of toast that ably stand up to the substantial fillings. It's a giddily rich way to start the day and large enough to share."
