Sunday Brunch and SOHO Shopping

Spring Street Natural prides itself on being a natural and organic restaurant, but on my visit it didn't taste like either. The brioche french toast with berries was bland and they didn't give enough syrup. The Salmon egg Benedict looked and tasted sad. Even the coffee was flat. Too bad. Balthazar's next door was packed as usual, maybe that would have been a better choice for brunch. Shopping was great, everything from Uniqlo to Anna Sui. A report recently came out that perhaps the recession would kill off SOHO slowly; doubt it.
