A fairly new place for brunch, The Market Table offers a great seasonal array of options. Everything on the menu is fresh and well-made.

Little Owl

A small restaurant known for its original gravy meatball sliders, Little Owl also offers brunch on weekends. The venue is very popular due to the fact that the apartment block it’s located under was used as the exterior facade of Monica’s apartment in Friends. It’s best to make a reservation before you make your way over there. Decorated with owl-related objects, this restaurant may have portions that are small compared to other places, but none can deny the quality of the food.
