• Café • Clinton Hill

FOR ALL THINGS GOOD IS A NEIGHBORHOOD CAFE AND BOUTIQUE MOLINO*. THIS PROJECT IS THE RESULT OF YEARS OF INTEREST IN MEXICAN CUISINE, CULTURE AND ULTIMATELY CORN. IT STARTED WITH THE SIMPLE DESIRE TO FIND A GOOD, FRESH TORTILLA HERE IN NYC. IN THE TIME WE HAVE SPENT TRAVELING BETWEEN NYC AND MEXICO WE HAVE SEEN MANY STARK DIFFERENCES BETWEEN NY MEXICAN FOOD AND MEXICAN FOOD FROM MEXICO. THE DETAIL THAT ALWAYS STOOD OUT THE MOST FOR US WAS THE TORTILLA. MOST OF THE TORTILLAS YOU CAN FIND HERE, BOTH IN RESTAURANTS AND GROCERY STORES, ARE MADE FROM CORN FLOUR. THIS IS A NOT TOO TASTY, NOR NUTRITIONS DERIVATIVE OF CORN MASA. THINK OF WONDERBREAD VS ANY LOAF OF BREAD YOU MIGHT FIND AT A BAKERY.

A good local bar for a Roman Style meal. Manu consists mostly of small portions except for the pastas. Good vibe too.

Izzy and Melissa made our visit OUT OF THIS WORLD! The service is incredible as is the ambiance - the value of the price is great too! My mom loved coming here for her birthday surprise and I will definitely be back with friends! You can’t go wrong - and don’t forget to add on a vintage tea cup to take home (:

Our time at BK High Low today was lovely! It was the perfect way to spend a birthday with good friends. We sat in the garden on the coldest day of the year but mostly were cozy beside our frozen toes, which is just the nature of being anywhere in the cold. The tea was delicious and they had such a diverse selection. The scones were fluffy and beautifully textured but we were not impressed with the sandwiches. The desserts were good but we agreed the tea and scones are the best part. I will say that we were a party of 7 outside so we were harder to reach but the service was not outstanding. All in all, I would surely recommend the Grand Vanderbilt at least once for the special experience that full afternoon tea is. It doesn't hurt that the HIgh Low's parlor spaces are so delightful! I will return again for cream tea without the extra food but I am so glad I chose BHL for our get-together:)
