Biscuits and gravy
$$, Outdoor Seating, Reservations, Bakery, Breakfast, Downtown
"Two dense hand made biscuits in a aromatic and savory sage/pork gravy. And if the 1lb of biscuits wasn’t enough, you get some fluffy scrambled eggs in the mix as well. A complete scratch bakery serving up breakfast, lunch and handmade desserts."
Wild boar rigatoni pasta
$$$, Outdoor Seating, Full Bar, Italian, Ukrainian Village
"Had myself one of the best pastas of my life when traveling to New York City a few weeks ago. Cacio e Pepe Italian, a cozy little hole in the wall restaurant, is serving outstanding pastas. The wild boar rigatoni was incredible."
