replying to u/Substantial_Relief7: Wow you hit all the spots! What did you think of Mary O’s? I’ve been wanting to go but wasn’t entirely sure if it’s worth the hype. I’m super tempted to try the steamed fish! Looks incredible and I’m amazed that it was the best thing you ate the whole trip. Next time you’re here, I’d highly recommend stopping by Supermoon Bakehouse. The passionfruit curd donut is truly to die for (only if you like citrusy desserts though), and their ube pandan ice cream sandwich is also very delicious (but super rich, I’d recommend sharing)! But honestly, you really can’t go wrong with anything there !
“we also tried the Clinton St. Baking Co chocolate chip scone and it totally exceeded expectations, so I'd recommend that instead - it was crispy on the outside, fluffy and light on the inside, & not super oily/greasy!!”

“I can see how it won awards for best pancake 20 years ago and how it got its fame. It’s an elevated diner pancake and it’s good especially that maple butter but in comparison to the new school pancakes I had it just pales in comparison.”

replying to u/laughingwalls: Yeah, so a couple next to me ordered the Eggs Benedict and Pancakes, they actually looked good. I grew up in the south, so I couldn't resist not ordering the biscuit in the off chance it was decent. I didn't have high expectations, but it was terrible. I kept looking at their pancakes, and was like this place probably deserves a second chance.
“Yeah biscuits there are meh. I love their latke eggs Benedict.”
