Orange Ricotta Muffin - must have

OK, I can't afford the clothes or the home goods, but they are lovely. Service can be strange, but overall, it's a unique, cute place. The baked goods/desserts are outstanding. If they have the Orange Ricotta...

What happened?

I can understand paying premium prices for great food. I'm all for it, judging by the lack of quality in so many NYC restaurants. But something has gone seriously wrong here recently. It used to be a lovely,...

I do not understand how this place won New York Magazine's Best Brunch place for 2006. My coffee arrive iced cold. To place an order or get any service, we had to flag down our waiter. The serving of pancakes...
