My Favorite NYC Brunch Spot

I can't recall how I found out about Clinton Street Baking Company, but I've been going there for years; I think even before I moved to NYC. They have the most glorious banana pancakes with maple butter syrup, and I often joke that they put crack in the batter! Anyone who visits me in NYC ususally gets a trip to Clinton Street, but I always warn my guests in advance: there's usually a 2-hour wait even when the doors first open. Yes, it's true! I convince my guests that it's totally worth it, and so far everyone has agreed.

What's most exciting is that their pancake month is coming up starting February 1 and boy, do they have some delicious pancakes scheduled! Don't these sound delish?:

If I'm able to make it this year to Pancake Month I'll be sure to report back with pictures! I was treated to Clinton Street a couple weeks ago by a good friend and I totally overindulged: I had pulled pork, scrambled eggs with pepper jack cheese, hash browns and a biscuit. But wait, there's more! We topped off our brunch with a huge slice of raspberry chocolate cake. It was so moist and delicious. I brought the leftovers home for Uka, and he devoured it before I could even get my coat off! Seriously, it's that good.
