Marlow & Sons : un excellent brunch à Brooklyn
Hipster friends and lovers of the Brooklyn neighborhood, I'll meet you at Marlow & Sons for a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The bonus is that if the weather is nice, you can sit on the terrace to enjoy the sunshine.
You will have the choice between scrambled or poached eggs, omelets and bagels, bacon and other typical American options.
My advice: book in advance, especially if the weather is nice! Places are quickly taken, because the reputation of Marlow & Sons is well established.
That said, if you arrive too late to find a place, you can always head to the smorgasburg market to nibble on a trendy brunch, on several stands! A very good option too.
Once you have finished your delicious brunch, go for a walk in the neighborhood, and stroll in the Brooklyn Bridge Park or Slope Park.
