5. Shopsin’s General Store

Shopsin’s General Store, relocated from its cozy location in Greenwich Village, offers a staggering 900-item brunch menu among sandwiches, soups, and other assorted snacks. It was first founded as a grocery store on the corner of Bedford and Morton Streets in the West Village, was bought by chef and second founder Kenny Shopsin in 1973, and moved to booth 16 in the Essex Street Market some years later.
