Apparently, I've never blogged about veggie dim sum. I know I have pictures from there, but eh, the time has passed. If you've never eaten there, then call me and we'll go. Instead, here are some pictures of brunch the last time we ate together at the Smith. Not be confused with Smith's. It's a newish
bistro place like Schiller's or about a million other places in the East Village, but this place is right across from the Loews movie theater and sort of near the Union Square subway stop.So it's a good place to meet up when you're hankering for an East Village brunch. Typical EV brunch is pretty decent food, a watery drink, watery coffee, nice decor and a loud atmosphere for 15 bucks or so. The Smith is no different. The food was generally good. I ordered the country breakfast which was 
cheese grits, ham, biscuit and gravy. I could have done without the gravy—it didn't add anything in flavor to the food. It just sat thick and beige as it sogged up the bottom of my biscuit. Maybe it was that pasty so it would be easier to wipe off of the ham. This was heavy hang over food, but I wasn't hung over so I just felt bloated with all those grits and champagne bubbles in me. CP got the Potato waffle which didn't contain 
potato chunks or shreds like a potato pancake, but was a nice savory change of pace. JP got the eggs benedict. I have to say, service was fine, we got a bunch of bottles of tap water without even asking, that's unusual. But I remember feeling kind of rushed, which isn't unusual at such a busy place. It was so loud in there, I didn't want to stay that long. That's it regarding the Smith. Back to Saturday. We also hit the other Deitch Projects at 76 Grand St. The main installation by Tim Noble and Sue Webster was um, you know. I really like the flyer for the show — great use of metallic ink! This piece was actually very exciting to watch because Carissa didn't believe me that I thought I saw something coming out of the can.
