I love Brunch!  Do you have a favorite place?
The Clinton Street Baking Company is a  bakery and is a good place for brunch
Are they a national chain?
Nope is a bakery and resteruant on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York.
I will have to remember that for the next time I am in New York.  Thanks for that tip!
No problem! The lower east side has really changed in the last 10 years. The national trust for historic preservation put it on their list of Most Endangered\ Places
Are there many places there to eat brunch besides The Clinton Street Baking Company?
The Contiential Baking Company might be good. They were one of the first to make fortified bread!
Fresh baked bread sounds delicious.  Do they also bake desserts?
No idea but they were the origional makers of Twinkies and Wonder Bread!
