Diner is the go-to spot for the beautiful tattooed masses and the freshest brunch in town. The secret ingredient in their homemade biscuits & sausage gravy is love. And you can taste it! - IFC Staff
Dan Barber's fresh, eco-friendly food is driven by the harvest at his farm upstate. The room located just below street-level on quaint Village block has the same casual grace as the eats.

Welcome. Have cucumbers to start, some duck, a soup, the cumin lamb and the “BBQ” fish. Add Tsingtaos. Lovely, no? Read more.
papaya muse reminded me of Vietnam, oxtail spring rolls of Indian flavors, and their chicken was spot on like I was in china. Yummy! Service was great, atmosphere was laid back yet intimate.
