[Aigre Doux]

Hope this isn't too late nuxvomica, but I found Aigre Doux to be just ok (certainly not worth the hype). For lunch, I would either head down to Chinatown for dim sum, or hit either Nomi or the Ritz Carlton for their brunches. Both are excellent and have plenty of options beyond eggs.

best place to look for stuff is metromix.com

 

I'd suggest instead LTHForum.com

 

I'll second that. Metromix is best used for finding dining deals on different days of the week. Avoid the reader reviews at all cost. lthforum.com is infinitely more valuable.
