Brunch with the best{ie}!


I have been suffering from a case of spring fever + the 30 degree weather combined with the occasional snow showers we've been experiencing lately aren't exactly the cure.  Despite the frigid temperatures I've felt the need to flee my apartment + meet up with friends whenever I get the chance.  On Sunday I made plans to catch up with my best friend at my new favorite brunch spot + apparently one of my famous neighbors had the same idea.  

I have been food crushing on Gabe Stulman since The Little Owl but am even more smitten with his solo ventures because in addition to the ridiculously delicious food there is an uncanny population of Wisconsin folk that flock where ever he sets up shop.  From the wait staff to the customers almost everyone you talk to has a Wisconsin connection or lives with in a 10 block radius of his Sheridan Square empire.  Meeting both of those specifications I can't help be feel right at home at Joseph Leonard, named after Stulman's grandfathers.  The cozy tables + neighborly atmosphere make for a sublime place to brunch + map out your Bleecker Street shopping strategy.
