Jimmy's Diner


It's a pretty tiny place located in Williamsburg. I went around 4pm on a Thursday so it was pretty empty. Everything I tasted that day was heavenly. 
Cheap, delicious diner food.What else could you ask for?

Stand4

A few weeks ago, I went to Stand4 for brunch. They have a brunch special for $24.95 with unlimited Bloody Marys or Mimosas! 
They also have the best milkshakes I have ever had in my life.
 Toasted marshmallow milkshake. There's a stiff version of this with vodka in it.
 Sweet potato fries and salmon burger
 Salmon burger with avocado and mac n'cheese and a few fried pickles on the side.
Salmon burger, tater tots, and two eggs sunny side up.

Huevos Rancheros Recipe

Today I awoke craving a nice hearty brunch. I looked around my kitchen to see what I could make and decided that huevos rancheros would be perfect!
Here's my easy-to-make version of a popular Mexican breakfast dish.
What you'll need: Eggs, corn tortillas, one large tomato, one medium sized onion, salsa, hot sauce (I'm using Valentina because it's great), 
cheese (you can use shredded or queso fresco), pickled or fresh jalapenos, avocado and beans.
Toss the chopped up tomato and onion in a greased pan.
While it's sautéing, chop up a little bit of jalapeno and toss it in the pan.
While that cooks, cut your avocado.
Once it's all lightly browned pour in your salsa and hot sauce. Depending on how chunky you like it add more or less salsa. 
If you like it spicier and not as chunky add more hot sauce.
While that thickens, start heating your tortillas. You can just heat them so they stay soft or let them get crispy. (I like my tortillas with a slight crunch)
I'm heating up left over beans from yesterday but you can use canned black beans or canned refried beans.
As for the eggs, make them sunny-side up. Don't over cook them! The yolk should be somewhat runny.
Spread the beans on the tortilla along with the salsa.
Place the eggs on top of the beans and salsa sauce. Put as much cheese and avocado as you want and enjoy!

Brunch at Alor Cafe

Alor Cafe is probably three in my top 5 brunch spots.
They have a decent herbal tea selection and make a great ice coffee. (not pictured) I ordered the African red tea which was really, really good.
Veggie omelet and mixed green salad.
Eggs, spanish sausage, onions, and potatoes.
The veggie omelet was around 7 bucks, the eggs skillet was around 8 bucks and the crepe was 9.
Nutella, bananas, strawberries, and dulce de leche crepes. D-E-L-I-S-H.
Oh and not only is the food good, the decor is cool as well. Look at that freaking table, it's glass with coffee beans and dried flowers. I want to own that table.
