Brunch at The Cardinal
I’ve been eating a lot of Southern & Soul food lately, helped in part by a bunch of new restaurants springing up in the East Village. The Cardinal opened in late August 2011, but I never got the chance to eat there till now. Located in the space formerly held by Thai restaurant Amaya, they’ve […]
