Mediterranean restaurant · West Village

"The Wait: Jack’s Wife Freda has five locations around the city, but the one in Soho seems to get the busiest. Stop by for brunch, and you might see a line of 30 people or so. If you find yourself waiting in line at Jack’s Wife Freda, you’re either a tourist or you recently graduated from Sarah Lawrence and moved into a nice Kips Bay apartment with six of your friends. There’s nothing bad about either of those things, just like there’s nothing bad about Jack’s Wife Freda. Their Mediterranean food is decent, and each location is, of course, very cute. Verdict: What? Why? Jack’s Wife Freda? You can do better. (But, admittedly, you can also do worse.)" - Bryan Kim, Kenny Yang, Neha Talreja
