And we Brunch!

Keeping up with what New Yorkers do, my friend Abby and I had brunch this morning at our new favorite spot Community Food and Juice. I had been here with my mom back in June and had their fabulous Vegetable Frittata. A few weeks ago Julie, Abby and I went for brunch and I had the Brioche French Toast, also fantastic. Today, I decided to try something new and ordered the Eggs Benedict. As expected it was also tastefully delicious. The hollandaise sauce had a little spice to it, like they had added paprika or something. It was just the right amount to give it a different taste than the usual sauce you expect. With my encouragement, Abby had the frittata.  What I love about CF&J is that their food is made with organic, sustainable ingredients when possible. And the jam is real, house made jam! Not the stuff that comes in the small plastic packets. I think it's raspberry jam because it has the large seeds in it. I'm trying to figure out if they sell it in jars.

Even though we were there at 10:30 am, it was busy. The hostesses are kinda lame and don't seem like they can handle the stress of the large crowds very well. But once you get past them and to your seat, the waiters and waitresses are really nice. When I was there with Julie and Abby, our food had taken so long that our server comped us our drinks.

For my future out-of-town visitors, this is one place we will stop at! :)
