Hundred Acres
CLOSED 38 Macdougal St., SoHo, (212) 475-7500.
Diners at Hundred Acres might be seated in any of three rooms, each with a different atmosphere. I think each has its bliss, so it isn’t worth waiting if you don’t have to. The front room has a bank of windows that open to the street and is particularly nice on warm days.
The bright back room is an enclosed patio, where hard surfaces can cause it to get quite loud.
In between is a darker room with no windows and that is where my group sat. We were quite comfortable with the banquette seating.
From the inventive brunch menu we selected cinnamon rolls and a pot of jalapeno grits as shared starters. May husband’s main was roasted country ham hash with fried eggs on top.
My soft scrambled eggs were cooked just right and with a generous amount of asparagus, but disappointingly the gruyere cheese was barely detectable. I really liked the accompanying cornbread, which was long and shaped like madeleine cookies, but I had to ask for honey butter, which took its flavor over the top.
I had my eye on my son-in-law’s griddled pimento white-cheddar-cheese sandwich and will try it next time.
But the queen’s dish here seems to be the super-tasty goat cheese-sage bread pudding topped with poached eggs—the house version of eggs Benedict.
Though cocktails are available—an assortment of bloody marys and the usual mimosa, bellini, and more—we stuck to coffee. The cold-brewed on ice was particularly nice on a warm day. The menu changes regularly.
Where the wonderful butter comes from that is used in this restaurant.
