Aita was a brunch stop on a recent visit to Brooklyn. It’s a swank little restaurant with chic vintage flair, well-curated, not over adorned. The menu has options for every guest. I chose the montecristo, pretty basic, no minds blown. The dinner menu seems to be their focus, next time I’ll get a pasta dish.

Commonwealth
On my first trip to Commonwealth, I was underwhelmed with my cocktail and the service. However, being that it was only a day or two after the opening and I didn’t even try the food, back I went for brunch. I’m happy to report that the food is good. Unfortunately, the service still needs perfecting.
Beignets – The first set came out and one beignet was missing the filling, but with the filling, excellent!
The Dirty Jersey – basic, but tasty
Hash & Eggs – Pastrami hash, yum!!
Preserve 24
What’s a Saturday in New York without brunch? Preserve 24 was too adorable to pass up. The food was good, nothing spectacular, but the decor and service were notable.
Front – L.E.S Egg Sandwich, Back – Chorizo Hash
Brunch at Tink’s – NYC
A row of chicken and waffles!
Saturday afternoon brunch at Tink’s, they were kind enough to accommodate our party of 9 even though the restaurant is super tiny. On Saturdays and Sundays from 11:30am to 4pm there’s a prix fixe brunch; choice of entree, coffee or tea, and a mimosa for $16. Coffee, food, service, and ambiance were excellent! The quirky decor is adorable and they bring checks out in children’s books (Amelia Bedelia, Goosebumps, cute!).
Food:
Chicken & Waffles – multi-grain waffles, pretzel crusted fried chicken, chipotle honey butter
The chicken was great, pretzel crunch was delicious. The waffles were good, a bit on the heavy side due to the multi-grain batter. Combined with the heaviness of the pretzel coating, perhaps a regular buttermilk waffle would have been more appropriate. The chipotle honey butter was like a spicy version of sweet and sour sauce and paired well with the chicken.
Biscuits & Gravy – homemade smothered biscuits, sausage gravy, herbs and sunny side up organic eggs
I enjoyed the slight spicy heat in the gravy. Since I started with the chicken, the dish seemed to lack texture. Overall, it was great, but the chicken was my favorite.
