Citizens Of Bleecker - New York

So so good! Citizens never disappoints. This was my first time at this location, but I've been the Chelsea one a couple times and am always in love with their food. I tried to Miso Chicken Bowl this time and absolutely loved the flavors of the dressing. Strong miso flavor and it was really unique for a salad. The salad has some grains (rice) so it's a nice meal that isn't too heavy. Friends and I came for bottomless on a Sunday and we got rounds and rounds of the iced tea. We all loved that it wasn't too sweet and it made for a perf bottomless experience.

Typical lovely outdoor canopiedGreenwich Village restaurant. I can only speak to the breakfast. We both had the avocado toast and it was fine and tasty. But for the price, oh boy I'd really rethink that. Yikes. The servers, by the way, spot on and perfect coffee that day? skip it. brown and muddy.

Went with a big group around noon on a Saturday and was able to be seated at the large middle table immediately. Very friendly service, unfortunately a little slow. Food was great, tried to go healthy and had the miso chicken salad which was delish. Husband went for a slightly heavier fried chicken sandwich option which was also v satisfying.

Citizens is an Australian cafe that serves breakfast all day, with lunch options as well. All of their menu items are extremely fresh, and some healthy: you can get bowls, salads, but also burgers. This is a great spot to enjoy a delicious brunch with friends. I tried a couple of dishes here, and was very happy with my choice. The Cheddar Biscuit Brekkie sandwich is one of my favorite brunch items I have had. The Cheddar Biscuit was to die for soft and doughy, with a crispy crust. The gruyere slice perfectly completed the cheddar ness of the biscuit. The ~thick cut bacon~ and tomato sauce really topped it all. This is a must if you go to Citizens. Of course... Every time I see an Avocado Smash on the menu, I have to try it. Citizens put an interesting twist on it. The avocado was mix with lime and cilantro, which was pretty good. What really brought this dish together was the beetroot hummus and the pickled onions ~yes, beetroot hummus with an avocado toast~. ~Disclaimer~ This did not make my top list of avocado toasts in the city, but it was good to try once as it had a mix of unexpected flavors. The fried chicken burger: The chicken is fried to perfection, and the yuzu aioli sauce is just... on point. Not my favorite though, but still great.

Came here for Sunday brunch at 11 on a CHILLY April morning with a girlfriend. The restaurant was probably only 30% full at the time and they were nice and let me sit before my friend had arrived. The wait staff was friendly and closed one of the doors upon request to keep everyone warm. I asked for hot water and she asked me if I wanted lemon, which I thought was very sweet! The food was delicious and I would argue it's on the more affordable end of brunch nowadays! The food was solid. I would come again for a great ambiance but wouldn't go out of my way to try other things on the menu!!
