Yellow Rose

"This East Village Texan spot is great at any hour, but we especially like coming for brunch, which feels like a collab between IHOP and Dolly Parton with floral wallpaper and mismatched ‘70s-looking lamps. Get a brunch cocktail and a few kolaches to start, then stock up on tacos. We especially like the smoked bacon and egg, bean and cheese, and carne guisada varieties, all of which come on fresh flour tortillas. They also serve a rotating menu of incredibly light and fluffy doughnuts on weekends—and they’ll wind up being what you remember most." - neha talreja, will hartman, bryan kim, kenny yang
