During the nearly inevitable hour-long wait for a table on Sunday mornings, you may wonder if pancakes and eggs are worth it. The answer? Absolutely. This brunch mainstay is favored by a J.Crew-clad, preppy set seeking fancypants juice, otherworldly ricotta lemon pancakes and three-egg omelettes in a faux-country setting. If you can’t bear the wait, pick up a selection of scones, muffins and a jar of jewel-toned homemade jam (we like strawberry peach, mixed berry or plum cherry) from the bakery counter. Lunch and dinner offerings like chicken pot pie are just what you’d expect—hearty and homey.
