to end our glorious two-day anniversary celebration several weeks ago, we opted to have brunch at what used to be i’m sure one of the hipper spots in town. since the stanton social has been open a few years, i am sure it is not quite as hot as it was or maybe it was because we were there before noon on a weekend.  regardless, we were quite happy with our choice.  first of all, the avro ko designed- space was great.  really high ceilings, attractive art and great circular light fixtures combined with friendly service were a plus.  then we really liked the small plate concept which allowed us to order more than five different things and not get too too too stuffed (we were able to manage some gelato an hour later).   our standout dishes included the ricotta fritters and raspberry jam (pictured above) and the grilled cheese with house cured jalapeno bacon, fried green tomatos and lemon aoli.  while not everything was spectacular, there were enough good things that we’ll plan to come back (we definitely want to check out the sliders and the baby benedict), and even bring the kiddies (we saw a few families there managing just fine).  and now that i’ve read the reviews, we might even have to try out dinner though getting in then might be a little tougher.   the stanton social, 99 stanton street near ludlow, manhattan, .
