Always a favorite brunch spot! The key is to go right when they open at 9 am in order not to have to wait. We always get a savory and a sweet dish to share and they NEVER disappoint :)

Oh Longman, how Iove thee!!! Although we've been here at least 10 times, recently it has been mostly for brunch, due to the long waits...
Brunch does not disappoint though and I love that they are always sprinkling in some new dishes while keeping my…More »

Just had brunch there on 08/14 for probably the 10th time, but this one was just above and beyond yumminess, so I decided to write about it! First of all - their coffee is the best in the neighborhood, just wish for a little larger cups! We…More »

GREAT service, they really make it fun, especially if you interact with the staff. Food is quite fantastic as well, can't go wrong with any latin flavored dishes (even vegan), lox and bagel or bennedicts. THE BEST hashbrowns.

We've been waiting to come here for a while, but the scare of long lines lingered over our heads...Finally, it had to be the first morning of 2012, when we capitalized on most of Chicago nursing a NY's hangover to dine at m. henry.

This place was recommended to us a few years back for 1 amazing dish. Every time we come here, at least one of us gets it and we are always impressed at the simplicity and goodness of it. What is it such wonder, you may ask?

I love Jam. #1 because of the food. #2, because you can almost always get seated right the way and almost always outside. Of course, the earlier you go the better, but its a great option.
Yes, the service might not be the best, especially outside,…More »

We came to the area with every intention of going to Jam for breakfast, but something about La Boulangerie just drew us in... Maybe because we are going to France this summer, but we decided to grab breakfast here instead. So glad we did! We had 2…More »

This was pretty good, but not great. Service was fantastic, but the food tasted good, but nothing to write home about.
I had the portobello tacos, the homemade tortillas and the sauce was good, but not jump out of my seat. Hubby had the GIANT…More »
Not sure how they can call themselves NY Bagel Deli... Maybe in the prices? Although I do think that NY may be cheaper :) Had the lox and bagel and was NOT impressed, I can make a better one at home. I will certainly put more lox on it as well...…More »
