Pequena







This little, cute spot in Fort Greene beckoned on a beautiful day, with their front Florida like room. I was suprised with house made chips and pico de gallo. For lunch there is good selection of specials under $10. I went with a stuffed poblano with cheese and rice and beans. An order of guacamole at lunch is $1.50. The food was fresh, uber tasty and the spot was nice respite in Fort Greene. Definitely a place to return for some good grub.
GO!

Beso







Away from the brunch madness of Madhattan is Beso, close to the ferry in St. George. A recluse of stucco and decorative fireplace. There is a guitar player playing for the $19.95 brunch. Sangria, mimosa or bloody mary is included. Nice bread with garlicky oil and large, tasty Spanish olives. I went with the salad to start. Fresh greens nicely tossed with sherry vinaigrette. The main of salmon with avocado mousse and tequila with saffron rice was delicious. A tres leches cake with maccerated fruit topped off this sedate and seductive brunch.
GO!
