Clinton St. Baking Company is a perennial brunch favorite with its classic diner ambiance and a hint of modern flair. This eatery offers a cozy setting in the lower east side, ideal for those seeking a comfortable and welcoming dining experience. Their "Clinton St. Cheeseburger" is simple but absolutely phenomenal. It boasts a thick hand-formed beef patty that has a succulent and rich flavor. On top are healthy portions of melted sharp cheddar (or swiss if you prefer) and caramalized sweet onions, and it is served on a Kaiser bun.
