French comfort food. If the romantic mood strikes you, do take a stroll around Amsterdam Avenue (plus, you'll walk the guilt of having so much great food right off).

Hearty, Mexican food is served all day. I recommend any breakfast/brunch dish with a side of chilaquiles. I am also quite partial to their fideo seco and enchiladas verdes for lunch.
