i like to be the very last person in nyc to try an esteemed restaurant. i've heard nothing but good about peels in the east village, but it took me a few years to get down there and try it myself. i always heave a deep sigh when i'm expected to show up in the east village since the upper west side is the equivocal opposite in terms of location. the streets below houston will forever confuse me. i should have just got off the subway and followed the rest of the 30-something hipsters straight to peels.
my friend kayla admitted she hadn't tried it yet either, so we made a breakfast date to talk photo biz (hire her!), amongst other things of course.
the menu is oozing in southern charm with staples like shrimp and grits and a fried chicken sandwich. i wish i had taken a dozen martha stewart approved buttermilk biscuits for the road.
also, exquisite banana might be the coolest name for a blog, ever.
ps: an excellent guide to breakfast and lunch at peels.

Love that you two are "in person" buddies too, and that you have "dueling" peels posts today, hehe. :)
And yes I'm leaving the exact same comment as I did on hers ;)
Love these shots, B. So fun to see how we both captured the atmosphere. Next time we'll stay local on the UWS. xoxo.
Okay, I didn't know that you two actually KNEW each other! Did you become friends through blogging or were you friends who happened to start blogging?
we went to peels on our honeymoon in nyc in feb of 2011 - we loved it!
,,,have to plan a trip soon to "nyc and peels." love "exquisite banana" what a sweet blog!,,,
victoria-
we met through blogging! :)
I would eat there for the lighting alone. Love that place! Beautiful photos.
Aah this place looks so perfect! Delicious looking food, super cute atmosphere. Add it to my never-ending list of places I need to visit if I ever (scratch that, WHEN I) make it to NYC :)
I already invited myself to the next lunch. I've never been to Peels either. But the good news is that I've never been to about a bazillion restaurants in the city:)
love peels! the biscuits are divine. love how you captured it.
My recurring thought today–All the cool kids live in NYC. Must get to NYC.
I've never been to Peels, but would like to go someday! With you!! And eat a ton of biscuits...
I'm also always the last on the block to try the hot restaurant. My husband and I finally tried Babbo last month...pretty good, but the portions are WAY too small.
You guys are so cute - love Kayla's blog! Peels looks amazing and I've heard so much about it - need to make it out there ASAP.
You look cute as hell and these photos are pretty fantastic!
oh eggy, nice to try out new places. like the name too
Took 2 breakfast at Peel's last year a very nice place and good food (loved the fresh fruit salade and the eggs)
