Daylight savings time is so great! I had an extra hour to get to Brooklyn for brunch with Elizabeth. It took me no time at all to get to the Pacific stop on the N train. She wanted to check out Miriam. The folks on chowhound.com dug it, so she thought it would be a good choice. It was good, though I was a little worried at first. When we walked in, it sort of smelled like dirty mop head. I don't mean greasy hipster hair, I mean that smell of a floors that have been washed with an old mop. But I got used to the smell and truthfully, it probably doesn't smell all the time. Anyway, I realized that I'd had brunch there before earlier this year, but it was called Surreal Cafe.
But it's Miriam now and the food has a Mediterranean influence. I forgot the name of my dish, Mediterranean bread or something. Basically it was a pita fried in butter with eggs of my choice (over easy, of course!) pickles, harissa and a tomato sauce. It was tasty and only $8.95. I guess the coffee was included because our waitress didn't charge us extra. Elizabeth had an omelette with home fries and salad. It looked okay.
Overall the food was okay; however, not that exciting. Granted, the spirit of brunch is not about the 10 dollar eggs, it's about spending time with your friends. I'm just always looking for that food excitement.
