Clover Hill
Clover Hill, one of the few areas of NYC that still almost passes for a hamlet, is situated on the one-block section of Columbia Place between State and Joralemon. It is just as quaint and leafy as the rest of the neighborhood, but the roadway towering above gives it a particularly remote feel.
Between a large picture window in the front and an open kitchen in the back, there are 34 seats inside (six at the bar). Its carefully crafted Brooklyn aesthetic appears sincere in execution. Above hardwood floors, white-painted brick walls are lined with prints and old portraits. There are scattered plants and small lamps all over. The background music might have served as the music for a middle school dance for older millennials.
By day (Friday through Sunday from 9am to 3pm), the brunch menu is a primer on the excellent sourcing and preparation that Mitchell brings to the kitchen. The reasonably extensive menu includes items like a croque fromage ($18), French omelette ($19), and short rib cannelloni ($36). The prix fixe dinner solidifies Clover Hill's reputation as a top destination.
Clover Hill's tasting menu will fluctuate according to seasonal availability, like many others in NYC. A recent menu featured a lot of seafood and spring vegetables for $135 for seven courses with French and New American influences. Each dish pairs well with a $95 bottle of wine. This is definitely one of the best brunch spots in NYC.
