Pig Trotter “Fiorentina” at Hearth
This beloved resto just broke into brunch service after 10 years and has done such a bang-up job, we’re amazed it didn’t come sooner. The drink menu at Hearth is insane — fennel-anchovy Bloody Marys?! — and its American-Italian cooking always slays, but this saucy, egg-topped dish is where it's at. Served as two sunny-side ups atop a bowl of meaty deliciousness, you’ll be spoon-deep before happily realizing how glad you are this neighborhood gem finally got their brunch-act together.
Hearth, 403 East 12th Street (at 1st Avenue); 646-602-1300.
