Gigi is in town for a bit of summer, so we got to catch up with her, Michelle, and Deena over brunch on Bowery!
We got to the meet-up spot a bit early, so we wandered looking for a place to grab a drink while we waited. We saw a sign for "Berries Sangria" and looked no further. Turned out we had stumbled upon The Wren - a relatively new spot with great style. Gorgeous wood floors and bar, charming people, a screen they pull down to show soccer games, and great drinks. Score! We'll be back.
Then we headed over to our main destination: Peels. This apparently is a new hot spot, so it was quite crowded. But we had a reservation (whew!), so we were seated right away. It's actually two floors, and we had an awesome booth upstairs that fit all of us quite comfortably.
Everyone we encountered was very friendly, and the food was all farm-fresh.
Mel's Chef's Salad (without the egg)
DJ's Fried Chicken Sandwich (delectable!)
Biscuits & Gravy and Eggs Benedict for the gals
Overall, we enjoyed Peels. But we have a feeling we'll be drawn back to the laid-back vibe and crafty drinks at The Wren a bit sooner.
