"HAGS is one of those truly New York dining treasures, an eclectic fine-dining queer restaurant in the East Village, run by co-owners chef Telly Justice and sommelier Camille Lindsley. Dinner is a tasting menu affair, but brunch is more accessible, with a pay-what-you-can approach on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. HAGS often hosts guest chefs; for my brunch, it was Austin baker Mariela Camacho of Comadre Panadería."
"As part of the pay-what-you-can approach, dishes are listed with suggested payment amounts (beverage prices are fixed). You get the receipt totaling the suggested and fixed prices, along with a slip where you can write down what you'd like to pay. After your payment is processed, you can add a tip to that check. Don't feel pressured to pay the full proposed amount if you're not able to."
HAGS is an eclectic fine-dining queer restaurant in the East Village operated by chef Telly Justice and sommelier Camille Lindsley. Dinner runs as a tasting menu while Sunday brunch operates pay-what-you-can from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Brunch sometimes features guest chefs, such as baker Mariela Camacho of Comadre Panadería, and the regular menu changes often. Standout brunch items include bean toast ($12), potato pavé ($10) with French sauerkraut, and a buttery omelet ($18) filled with lox, cream, and roe. The space is playful, with heart-shaped lamps, a funhouse bathroom mirror, and fentanyl test strips. Seating by the front window offers ideal natural light.
