Pardon My French - Alphabet City

Happy Friday! Thinking of where to go for brunch this weekend? Look no further than Pardon My French at 103 Avenue B! This restaurant has the cutest backyard I've come across all summer. Decked out with a Coca Cola retro sign, colorful tables and chairs, twinkle lights, and quirky Barbies and G.I.Joe's hidden throughout, this backyard is exactly where you want to be with all of your friends.

I visited PMF for small plates and cocktails, all of which were delicious. They offer an assortment of cheese and charcuterie options along with tapas of the day. My friend and I shared the assiette de fromage and the tartare de thon. I thought they gave a decent amount of cheese for the plate, and I loved the assortment of three that they chose. The tuna tartar in all honesty was fine to me and nothing more. That said, we also had the absolute best conversation with our waiter Caio, an awesome Brazilian guy who told us that people flock to this destination specifically for their brunch.

While I can happily vouch for visiting here for dinner and drinks, I haven't yet had a chance to try their brunch myself. That said, as far as first impressions go, I cannot imagine it would disappoint. The energy, ambiance, and cocktails are so unique, and this backyard is a hidden NYC treasure.

I will definitely be making my way back here again soon, let me know if you do too!
