What to know

Established in 2001, Clinton St. Baking Co. has maintained its mom-and-pop roots as a family-owned and operated establishment run by a husband-and-wife team. Located at 4 Clinton Street on Manhattan's Lower East Side, the restaurant is a cornerstone of what New York magazine has described as the area's 'hippest restaurant row.' The menu focuses on classic American fare with a strong emphasis on sourcing from local purveyors. The kitchen utilizes sustainable coffee, all-natural milk, cage-free poultry and eggs, and heritage farm-raised pork to ensure the integrity of its dishes. This commitment to quality is evident in their celebrated brunch offerings, where pancakes are served all day and all night. Visitors can experience indoor dining for brunch from 8:30am to 3:30pm on weekdays and until 4pm on weekends. Dinner service is available Wednesday through Saturday from 5:30pm to 10pm. For those seeking a quicker experience, the brand also operates an outpost at the Time Out Market New York, though the main Clinton Street location remains the primary destination for a full sit-down meal.
