PRICE:
Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

Everyone seems to love this well-worn cafe, especially on weekends. The food is good and the atmosphere terrific. The brick-lined interior snakes out back to a little enclosed courtyard -- a lovely place for brunch, and the kids can run wild in the sandpit. There's a blackboard menu with hints of Asia in miso soups and soba noodles, supplementing the offerings of bagels, pancakes, and other breakfast fillers. There's nothing \"designery\" about the place; it's slightly frayed at the edges, in fact, but it has genuine warmth that is very appealing.
