Devils on horseback, the bacon, pancakes, I mean this place rules- can't go wrong.
For a drink or even for brunch..is a MUST in NY, love it!
Definitely a scenester oasis, the artichoke dip keeps me coming back over and over again to brave the judgmental masses.
DishEnvyNovember 17, 2011The hot artichoke dip may sound like a run-of-the mill appetizer, but no one does it better than Freemans.

stacey smithApril 6, 2009Ignore the pretense and the american apparel prescription-less glasses staring you down as you walk in, sit at the bar get the bacon-wrapped dates and enjoy the taxidermy decor.

Alex KiernanNovember 26, 2010Amazing thanksgiving feast! The sourdough stuffing cannot be missed!!! Look for me here in 2011.
Honghui YuNovember 22, 2014The sausages and potatoes are always tasty but the eggs have been inconsistent - sometimes overcooked and sometimes bland.
Lizzy BenbowJanuary 27, 2010just get the artichoke dip and devils on horseback (dates stuffed with cheese wrapped in bacon), no need for an entree.
Benton YetmanSeptember 9, 2009the prunes wrapped in bacon stuffed with gorgonzola are quite possibly the most unexpectedly delicious thing I've ever tasted. order them now!

"the pork meatballs with fries and the tomato curry sauce are amazing and it's a good amount of food compared to the other small plates."

"An awesome, intimate venue. A sold out show will never be overcrowded. The downstairs bar is cool, too."
