Little local secret: the brunch at Chambar is THE SAME BRUNCH MENU as cafe medina. this is important to note because while everyone is lined up for 45 minutes on a Sunday for brunch outside cafe medina you will just slide through to a table for 4 no resos at Chambar a couple blocks away. also try the mussels here for dinner and the blue cheese martini.
