brunch at salt, soho

a lovely friend and i had brunch on saturday at salt, a cute-as-a-button spot in soho. it was wonderful--there was tons of natural light streaming in through the huge windows and doors, which were left open to reveal the crystal blue sky that day. exposed brick walls, long communal tables à la hogwarts, and cushioned window seats completed the quaint, cozy look. best of all, we sat and picked at our food and jabbered away for two hours, and never felt rushed once.

oh, and they have a $6 coffee/tea + mimosa deal. needless to say, we indulged.
