Forget Mimosas and Bloody Marys in Williamsburg – brunch at J.K. & Sons, which I affectionately call  “J.K. Rowling,” on Broadway in Bushwick, is where it’s at. J.K. & Sons is warm and unpretentious, run by a couple that’s been married for 40 years. No haughty waiters here, just good ol’ fashioned service, just the way I like it. The menu is a veritable novel and filled with eggs and bacon, waffles, cheese burger deluxes, lamb gyros, Greek and Cobb salads, chicken wraps, steak and potatoes, and all of that good sort of stuff. I always have extreme difficulty making my choice. And each day, they have soup specials, which I can never pass up – who would, when a tasty bowl of Manhattan Clam Chowder will set you back only $2? Whenever I walk into J.K. & Sons and see the waitress (there’s only one), I feel happy. Long live J.K. & Sons.

J.K. & Sons is located at 801 Broadway, Brooklyn  NY11206 (Btwn Fayette & Ellery St). Near the Flushing Avenue J train station.
