Profile

"E," as it's known among locals, is swarming with polished gay men and young, hetero finance workers on most weekends. This is a snapshot of the new Hell's Kitchen, a moneyed, fashion-conscious crowd who nurse their hangovers with sparkling bellinis and seven-grain toast in E's stylishly spare environs. It's also the neighborhood’s best brunch spot: the poached eggs in the signature "E-Benne" are perfectly wobbly clouds atop vegetable-potato cakes that encourage delusions of healthful grandeur; it's not unheard of for patrons to schlep all the way from the East side just to indulge in the thick, juicy burgers and tangy homemade pickles. It's pricier than its Ninth Ave. neighbors, but you can't live on souvlakis and pad Thai alone—especially on Sunday afternoons. — Carla Spartos

Brunch

Sat.—Sun., 9 a.m.—3:45 p.m.

Recommended Dishes

Eatery burger, $11.95; “E-Benne” (poached eggs on a vegetable potato cake), $11.95

I sat outside with my friend, so we didn't have a chance to really check out the decor and atmosphere. Service was decent, the waitress gave good suggestions and input. The dishes were plated strangely- everything was separated. The sauce for the duck wasn't actually on the duck, it was on the side, and the salad that accompanied the chicken was in layers. The chicken was a little on the dry side, but the sauce added moisture and flavor. The hummus and naan appetizer was delicious. It was a little pricey compared to the food portions, but relative to the rest of the area, it's not a horrible deal.

LOVE THIS DINNER !

HAD A BLIND DATE AT THIS HELL'S KITCHEN HOT SPOT. THE HOST WAS VERY NICE IN HELPING US MEET. THE DATE WAS OK BUT THE FOOD WAS GREAT. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU MAY GET AT THESE "COOL" RESTAURANTS, BUT MY DUCK TOSTADA WAS PERFEECTLY BALANCED AND THE CHIPOTE MEATLOAF WAS THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD. THE DATE DIDN'T WORK OUT IN THE LONG RUN, BUT I'M GOING BACK TO "E" -FOOODIE
