Favorite French Toast: Eric Kayser (NYC)

This week I invited my dear friend Fi who lives in NYC to write about one of her favorite brunch places:

"It has been a long time since I am writing something that is not about science. It is very difficult to find the favorite restaurant in New York city as there are too many good ones. Eric Kayser is one of them that I tried recently that serves excellent breakfast and pastries. It is located at the corner of 74^th street and 3^rd avenue. Like most restaurants on the upper eastside, it is busy yet classy. 

I ordered French toast with apple maple syrup and fresh fruits. It is the best French toast I have ever had. The toast was glazed with brown sugar on both sides to make it crispy. Apple maple syrup was really light and served on the side. Most French toast that I had before are saggy but this is dry and not buttery. There was sour instead of regular whipped cream too. Nice combination with the sweet toast, syrup and berries. I also tried oeufs brouilles saucisses which was scramble egg, sweet sausage and red pepper on toast. Scramble egg was extraordinarily soft but overall I like that French toast more!"
