Farmicia

It would be hard to miss this Old City restaurant, with its colorful name-bearing banners running down the building. The relaxed 122-seater, which is co-owned by the Metropolitan Bakery team, is well loved for its contemporary American fare. Folding glass doors let the sun in, while high ceilings, large mirrors, and generously spaced tables make for a breezy atmosphere. The kitchen relies on fresh, organic ingredients. Brunch includes classics like buttermilk pancakes and eggs Benedict, while dinner offerings include jumbo lump crab cakes and a bevy of salads. Fish, meat, poultry, and vegetarian choices also abound.
