The Clifton establishment encourages lounging for hours over a rich cup of Indian Malabar, or an array of tasty sandwiches and even tastier pastries and ice cream. And with a recent move a few doors down Ludlow Avenue, Sitwell s is a convenient place to grab a snack and mull over the latest flicks showing at the Esquire Theater, the restaurant s new neighbor. The space is brighter and bigger than Sitwell s previous location in the basement of an apartment building just up the street. The menu is expanding, too, to include pita pizzas, fruit and health smoothies, and a Saturday morning milky cereal breakfast club that means eating your favorite cereal in your pajamas while watching cartoons. The coffee is self-serve from the side of the front bar, unless you order a specialty caffeinated drink, or one served with a dash of alcohol.
Food choices satisfy small and large appetites.
The Briemato is a croissant filled with toasted brie cheese and Roma tomatoes. The veggie bagel comes with your choice of bagel and cheese and lots of fresh veggies. The big ass burrito is just that big. Sitwell s also prides itself on an interesting selection of soups. The offering changes daily and ranges from the ordinary to the extraordinary like tofu noodle.
