Abigail Cafe and Wine Bar

Abigail Hitchcock is not into birds or filmmaking, which is a shame for obvious reasons. She is, however, into food and plants. The New York chef took her B.Sc. degree in botany at the University of Bristol and has managed to put her affable knowledge to work at her current post. Besides creating gorgeous floral arrangements at her eponymous café, relatively close to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, Abigail managed to infuse her menu with her love of local farming and fresh simple food.



For fresh market lunches of the gourmet ilk, Abigail has got you covered. The best way to start things off here is with the roasted organic chicken salad served with a shallot-herb mayo dressing, greens and wax beans. If the day calls for something a bit more comforting and hearty, the spring pea soup with a hearty dollop of minted crème fraîche is an invigorating stand-in.

Excellent food, very tasty. a bit slow but worth the $ by far.
