Las Chicas

Looking for Las Chicas? Look for the queue. There's no such thing as downtime here but that doesn't faze the switched-on staff who have you seated and caffeinated, stat. Get fresh in the courtyard or slide into a black vinyl banquette under vintage posters and lightbulbs. On offer are fresh, simple birchers, bagels with pistachio ricotta, traditional egg breakfasts (ditch the frozen hashbrowns), and fancier spins like the hearty pumpkin breakfast loaf topped with avocado and salsa or the shallot omelette with enoki mushrooms. Lunches span the sandwich and salad spectrum. And servings are massive, so go the half-serve or share with a pal.
