Joseph Leonard is one of my favorite cozy spots for brunch on the weekend. After a long week of work their avocado toast and a bloody mary hits the spot. Get there early or expect to wait, it's small and limited seating. Their sister restaurant Jeffreys Grocery across the street is also very good, but no expresso drinks which and I need my morning latte.
I used to live around the corner from here and would be there for breakfast, lunch and dinner almost everyday.
The staff is super friendly and I believe it's the best pizza in town.
I also did the mural outside and I love seeing all pictures people post and how people engage with the work and how it becomes a part of their experience there.
The only graphic design bookstore in New York City. Shameless plug—it's also my company! Our design office, Order, is operated in the back, in full view of all visitors. Come say hi!
