In February I checked out David Chang's Momofuku Ssam Bar in New York for brunch with a few friends.  This was one of the occasions where having adventurous friends was a blessing.  We ended up telling the waitress what not to bring us from the brunch menu.  Ssam bar lives up to its fame and is a must try for brunch.
