Brunch at Irving Mill
I love brunch but I'm always a bit perplexed when I arrive at a celebrated brunch spot--Prune, for example--and see crowds of people huddled outside, waiting desperately for eggs and pancakes and coffee, foods they can easily and much more cheaply prepare at home. Don't get me wrong: a place like Prune can dazzle you with its brunch food, but at the end of the day, it's brunch food and no brunch food--however spectacular--should require a one hour wait. Which is why I'm delighted to tell you about the brunch I had a few weeks ago with my friend Lauren at Irving Mill, one block east of Union Square. The place is enormous, like a farmy banquet hall, and on Sunday at 12 noon it was almost totally empty, which should've been a cause for alarm. Instead, though it was a cause for celebration: Irving Mill serves a pretty killer bunch and the best part is, you don't have to wait....
