"Be prepared to wait – just as others have on weekends over the past 40-plus years – for a table at Park Avenue’s Briarpatch, be it inside the pleasant dining room or outside on the bustling sidewalk. The uber-popular breakfast haunt gets downright nutso on weekends as patrons clamor for plates of griddled goodies and eggy sustenance. The breakfast carnitas and pear pancakes get a lot of play, as does the prosecco peach bellini, but everyone seems to miss their ice cream which is no longer served." - Faiyaz Kara
