Cheap Eats 2006

Looking for a quiet break from frenetic Hawthorne Boulevard? Pop into this Southeast stalwart noted for the ink drawings hung on its walls and for its breakfast offerings, including exceptional blintzes ($7.85). There's a nice mix of pastas and meats to sample on the dinner menu as well. Start the evening with a sweet mojito ($4-$6.50), then crunch into the pan-fried oysters ($9.50) off the list of starters.
