PS1 recommendations?
I'm dedicating this Sunday to art, starting at PS1. Haven't been in quite some time and would love some help with where to go for brunch. It's just me, so I'm happy to sit bar-side if any particular spot is normally jammed. Any price point, any cuisine. Just looking for excellent food and a spot to read the paper while I fuel up for a fun day.
Many thanks in advance, 'Hounders.

There are several good local brunch spots. My favorite are Tournesol and Blend, Tournesol is French and they do everything really well. Blend is kind of pan-latin but their brunch is great.

I've had the cubano, which was great, the yucca fries are also excellent but not quite as good as Malagueta's. The eggs Benedict over a yucca hash was also quite good.

I haven't been there for the past year, but the cafe inside of PS 1 used to be very good and inexpensive.

what I remember of the cafe is pre-made sandwiches sitting nice and soggy on a hot and humid day (like what sunday will probably be) but that's a great question, since I'm planning to go there on sunday as well but most likely, going to hop on the 7 train and just hit something in jheights; area restaurants are not so awesome but it's maybe 10-12 blocks from that little strip of restaurants in LIC, 50th st? not too familiar with the scene though.

Honestly, the Vernon Blvd strip is not far from PS1 at all, its about a 5 minute walk. Blend, Tournesol and Cafe Henri are all excellent brunch spots. Tournesol is my favorite.
