Balthazar

[cassidain]

NYC's iconic weekend brunch spot for two decades or more.

Bustling. Scene - y. (of course, Soho is a zoo on weekends)

Run with a professionalism of which most Saint-Barth restos (with their seasonal staff) can only dream.

Always littlenecks or middlenecks to start. (after a Le Balthazar or Corpse Reviver #2)

After, usually steak-frites. They've changed the cut from the classic rumsteck to a ribeye. I messaged staff to inform that they had incurred my displeasure.

So fun.

. . . wishing that I could be there this weekend!

For anyone who follows him on IG, he sometimes posts the (often entertaining) Balthazar cards patrons leave for him after dining.
Speaking of which, for anyone who has not read Keith McNally memoir “I Regret Almost Everything” I recommend it. Of course only after first reading “Treasured Island”
