The Ace Hotel I’m sure has something to be said for as a great place to stay while in Manhattan (never stayed there before..oh yea because I live here) but the Breslin is the pulse of the entire place.  This new April Bloomfield addition (Spotted Pig Exec. Chef) has a clean and neat atmosphere with some of the best Bloody Mary’s the city has to offer (have another bloody buddy).

There are many brunch items to choose from between fresh organic egg Frittatas to Fried Banana and Peanut Butter sandwiches but the main attraction that has received quite a bit of buzz is the burger                        (no sh!t right?).  Hold the beef and bring on the Lamb at the Breslin baby.  The Chargrilled Lamb Burger is topped with feta cheese, cumin may0, held between a fresh bun (think circular Ciabatta meets Portugese Roll) and accompanied by a side of mild Dijon dipping sauce.  The burger was cooked very well but it was missing something.  It was seasoned properly or enough.  The cumin may0 added flavor but did not marry well with the Dijon dipping sauce.  To sum it up this burger was good but not great.

Winner of the day was the Thrice Cooked Chips (British Chips not American Chips). Holy Buns those are some fries!
