Profile

You probably haven't wandered in here since sophomore year at NYU, but don't worry: nothing's changed. Yaffa's still "open all nite," as the mural outside puts it. Inside, you'll find the same leopard and zebra prints on the booths and tables, the same bunches of plastic grapes and Christmas lights hanging from the ceiling, the same dim, warm atmosphere welcoming everyone from late-night Goth kids to early-afternoon breakfasters (just $5.95 for two eggs, home fries, pita bread, coffee, juice). Out back, the enormous patio beckons.

Brunch

Sat.–Sun., 10:30 a.m.–4 p.m.
