Leland Eating and Drinking House
Leland Eating and Drinking House, which briefly operated last December before fully opening in February, makes it easy to imagine return trips. It’s an easy place to be and one of the best brunch spots in NYC.
One benefit of the corner location is that it has two inviting dining spaces. The bar, a long banquette made of pale wood, and tables are to your right as you enter on the Dean Street side. Another dining room, further back and down a few stairs, is closer to the kitchen and has views of Underhill Avenue. Both rooms feature numerous white oak pieces and large windows. In a Nancy Meyers film, the protagonist is usually the chef or owner of a restaurant that is never shown.
There are three sections on the menu. The majority of the small plates and snacks could equally well be classified as appetizers, while the large plates are entrées. Any combination you order will make you appear to be an expert. Here, everything makes sense. The brunch-only menu at Leland Eating and Drinking House is tempting, even if you arrive earlier in the day in search of the excellent dinner dishes that are also served in the afternoon (trout rillettes, charred lemon skillet mussels, etc.). Try the egg sandwich with cheddar and arugula and a sourdough cinnamon roll. You can always return after it gets dark.
