"Located in a cozy contemporary setting, 40 North is the perfect spot to meet with friends. The food is exceptional and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. During our girls brunch, we enjoyed a bottle of Crémant du Jura, a delicious champagne-like drink. I couldn't decide on an entree, so I opted for some starters including toad in a hole and pumpkin soup, both of which were tasty. After our meal, we stayed to enjoy the atmosphere and had drinks at the bar. The bartenders were helpful in explaining the cocktail options, and they even created custom drinks for us. My friend had a refreshing ginger lemonade, while another friend tried the Radio cocktail, a unique take on an espresso martini. I indulged in an Irish coffee, expertly made by the bartender. I highly recommend 40 North for its great food, ambiance, and service. Plus, it is connected to Alphabet City, a business with a bookshop and event space that offers entertainment like poetry readings and music."
