There's just something really cozy and homey about this place. Nothing cheers me up quicker than some latkes and sour cream. It's near my apartment, so I usually come here for brunch after a late night... a little bit hungover... The breakfast platter and cream cheese and lox bagel breathes new life into me. The servers are so so friendly, and occasionally Zane Caplansky is there helping with the service and asking everyone if their food is alright. It can get crowded at times (usually during lunch hours), but I've never had to wait more then 15 minutes to be seated. I'll be sad when I move and am not down the street from this place, there's just something special about it.
(Tip: Don't get the latke poutine though... I found it pretty gross)
