egg
109 N 3rd Street (between Berry and Wythe)
The straightforward name celebrates one of this kitchen’s most signature ingredients. The eggs are organic, as is pretty much everything else on the menu (courtesy of Egg’s 6-acre farm up in the Catskills). A sky-lit ceiling rises high over the radiant white space—the sparse interior embellishment allows unfussy dishes to take center stage. The legendary “Rothko” (an over-easy egg wading in a circular pool at the center of a brioche, melted over with sharp Grafton cheddar) is just one of many new classics that Egg has introduced to the breakfast scene. Crayons and paper tablecloth keep little Rothkos-in-training entertained.
