One Hundred Acres: My Favorite Brunch In NYC

Brunch could be by far the best meal of the week. It's also my favorite because it has that something-special factor. Whether it's catching up with old friends, giving you reason to drink endless mimosas when you shouldn't, or celebrating a birthday, in this case my mother's, its a meal to be shared with ones you love! Plus, there are eggs all over the menu, duh! I've been to One Hundred Acres in Soho twice now for brunch and neither time was I at all disappointed. There's a beautiful rustic garden ambiance that transports you into what looks like the English Country side, an array of specialty bloody mary's for that handover cure, and "brunchtails" to bring on the buzz - the Grapefruit Cooler was my drink of choice!

I've shamelessly had only one meal at One Hundred Acres, the poached eggs, but to my surprise their menu changes frequently and thus, technically I've sampled two of their meals. I was blown away by the depth and complexity of flavor without forsaking the nutritional value of the farm to table ingredients with butters, creams, or oils.

With two beautiful poached egg atop a mountain of white beans, collard greens, and seasonal squashes garnished with pickled onions, there's no denying this is a healthy yet delicious option when dining at One Hundred Acres, something I strongly recommend. *leave half the beans on your plate as they are high in calories for a small portion. With 2 eggs you'll have all the protein you'll need to discard some of the beans.

I can't wait to go back to see what other dining-out-on-a-diet options there are!
