How lucky are we that Jaz and Baby Bhaura will be staying in NYC for spell?!?! We couldn't wait to see them for our first brunch playdate. We headed to midtown for some hugs and some grub at Whym.
None of us had ever been to Whym before, but it seemed pretty popular on Yelp for weekend brunches. The space is great (very light, airy, hip), and the staff were all very welcoming/accommodating to a group with a stroller.
The food was what you'd expect for brunch. Jaz tried the grits and eggs with sausage, a dish which people raved about online, and said it was quite tasty but the grits were overwhelmingly filling.
DJ opted for fried chicken sliders, and was a bit disappointed by the meat-to-bun ratio. He knew the sliders would be small, but at least hoped that they'd pile on a decent amount of chicken. He wound up with more bites of bread than anything else.
And Mel tried the kale Caesar salad with salmon. The salmon was cooked perfectly, but calling it a "kale salad" was a bit misleading. There was one delightfully crunchy piece of kale beneath the salmon, but the rest of the salad was a mix of other greens as well. She was hoping for a full super-food kale experience. Ah well.
Overall, Whym is a good spot if you're in the midtown area and hankering for a meal with nice ambience. But we don't think we'll go out of our way to return. We will, however, go out of our way to spend tons of time with Jaz and Baby Bhaura before they return to London. Hooray for playdates!
