Brunch on the weekends has a line around the corner starting at 10 a.m. when they open. I like to go for a late brunch, say around 2 or 3 when the line dies down. Or for dinner.

Famous for its different types of smoked salmon and bagels. Lots of other things to get from this deli that is a Lower East Side institution and has been in the area for decades. If the weather is nice, grab a bagel and go sit across the street in the park where Mud Coffee is (2nd Avenue F Street Station park)

Parks & Nature
Nice to sit with a pastry and a coffee. It's just a few blocks from the flat, and it's a bit more grungy than other parks but it's historic in the neighborhood and worth seeing. Great greenmarket here on Sunday mornings.
