Only in New York will you find a French chef whose specialty is haute Mexican cuisine. The restaurant itself, nestled between 19th and 20th Streets, is a sublime place, featuring Mexican décor and artwork with a contemporary lilt. Chef Cacace's innovative – and popular – brunch menu includes such favorites as poached eggs with cured ham on corn rakes with chipotle hollandaise, Camarones con Mango y Cebolla served with mango salsa and marinated red onion, and chile-rubbed salmon served with vegetable ragout. Brunch reservations are a must, especially on the weekends. TRAIN: C, E to 23rd St
