My best friend Emma recently moved into her new apartment and is now an expert in all things East Village, so she took us to one of her favorite brunch places: The Smith. (Don't worry they have locations in midtown and the Upper West Side too!) The atmosphere is relaxed and it's lovely to enjoy the fresh air from the big windows as you eat.

Potato waffles with poached eggs and creamed spinach.

Perfect Mac and Cheese to share.

Seared tuna salad with deviled eggs.

And steak and egg with home fries.
