Open from morning rush hour to post-happy hour, the emphasis here is on big plates of quality fare from local sources. High quality smoked meats include smoked fish and pastrami from Catsmo the father and son team's Catskill's Artisan Smokehouse and rye from Orwasher's bakery. By day, find bagels hand-rolled in house, mounds of pancakes and French toast. By night expect to find large plates of wholesome American fare including buttermilk fried chicken, steaks. For a lazy lunch, scarf down a Rachel (pastrami, Swiss cheese, coleslaw and Russian dressing), and then take a nap under a tree by the river.
