Elain’s pancakes at fairway uws – superb – tall stack – crepe-like – real maple – hard to define the very subtle overtones; nutmeg? Almond? Not sure, but amazing and delicate.

Lord and Taylor should get rid of SB before they get sued. The staff tries to cheat, harass, and even threaten thier customers. They think their customers are out of town and do not know better,

I am not a big brunch guy,however the lemon ricotta pancates at the four seasons[hotel 57 e. 57th] are wonderful. Other breakfasts there are also very good. Pricey yes however the ambience,service and quality of the food more than compensate!!

Serafina,

Tell me more about these pancakes. That’s a big claim. Have you had Clinton Street Baking Company? What makes these so delicious? What else is good there? More importantly, where are some of your other NYC bests? Burgers? Pizza? Wings? BBQ?

The BEST pancakes in NYC are at the Pershing Square Cafe on 42nd St. (across Grand Central). These are the truly best I’ve ever had in Manhattan and always go back for them. Try the buttermilk pancakes and tell me what you think.

Sweet Freak, Thanks for the recs. JoeDoe and Extra Virgin's brunch both sound damn good. I'd probably hit Extra Virgin's first and get some fries with gorganzola fondue in addition to my french toast with caramelized bananas and whipped mascarpone.

If you’ll accept french toast as the alternative pancake, then you must try newcomer JoeDoe and old faithful, Extra Virgin. They both use bananas and mascarpone, and they’re absolutely otherworldly.

Mike V, Thanks for the kind words man. I really appreciate it. Those look like some seriously delicious pancakes. How's the weather in San Diego? Starting to get cold over here. Jeff C, Thanks for stopping by dude. Solid Yelp page, a lot of quality reviews. I reviewed Good a few months back and was very pleased. You are right about that place. I went with the cream cheese stuffed banana french toast, however, and was happy with the choice. I found the toasted almond pancakes to be good but not the best. Here's a link to my review. Where do you go for your pizza and burgers? How about wings?

Awesome posts, my favorite new blog!
Here’s the banana pancake (about a foot across and delicious) at Hash House A Go Go in San Diego:
