    Amazing lunch and desserts! Had an omelette, my daughter had sliders and we shared the s’mores sundae which was out of this world! Was shocked that the bill was only $50. Not many places you can go in Manhattan and have a great lunch, with great service and a fun atmosphere, for that price! Will definitely return.
