Union SquareThe quaint Union Square cafe and restaurant has woven equality into its ethos: fair wages for all of its employees and a gratuity-free pay structure. The dining joys begin in the morning with a Saturday/Sunday brunch menu that includes Salmon Scrambled Eggs, Pasta Pomodoro, a Roasted Mushroom and Gruyère Omelette, and Eggs Carolina, pulled pork, over-easy egg, sweet dijon, and provolone together on a brioche bun. But don’t overlook the smaller dishes: an epic meal could be made of the Breakfast Tacos, Caramelized Grapefruit, and Juliet’s spin on the Kir Royale cocktail.

There aren’t a lot of restaurants that can pull-off printing prose poems on the menu without coming off as pretentious, but that’s exactly what Juliet does. Here you can choose a seasonal three-course fine-dining meal for only around $58 or any of the a la carte dishes. It changes frequently, but expect things like squid stuffed with rice and topped with chocolate sauce, and rosemary roast lamb.

This Union Square gem describes itself as “mostly French, totally fun, and inspired heavily by the region of Nice”—which in turn brings in some Italian influence, due to Nice’s proximity to Italy. And then there are Juliet’s rotating prix fixe menus that trot around the globe, from an ode to north California to a yearly celebration of the Persian new year, Nowruz. Not to mention random bits of fun like fish fry Friday or a Texas barbecue special.
