Extra Virgin
This West Village eatery attracts a young, hip crowd with lines of eager diners pouring out into the street amidst the quaint sidewalk tables. The people and the chaos work well here though. The staff is attentive and the food is reliably good and familiar without being boring. Try the namesake frittata with goat cheese and roast tomato or, for those with a sweet tooth, the banana mascarpone french toast. Choose from mimosas, bellinis and Bloody Mary's and grab one of the clustered sidewalk tables for a fun-filled brunch with plenty of people watching.
