One of our favorite comfort food destinations is Cafeteria in Chelsea.  Although we love the Cafeteria “Mac Attack,” we do not love receiving the bill after enjoying a number of their great strawberry mojitos (it does add up!).  So, we decided to try HK for a very wallet friendly all-you-can-drink brunch yesterday.  The bright white decor and outdoor seating made us feel like we were at Cafeteria (except for the fact we were a block away from Port Authority rather than a block away from all those great Chelsea boutiques).  First, we were happily suprised when we learned that we could begin our all-you-can-drink $12.95 special at the bar while waiting for a table.  We made some friends and received great (very energetic) service from our bartender, William.  We decided to wait on a table outside (or semi-outside), so we took full advantage of the all-you-can-drink bellinis, mimosas, bloody marys, and champagne before we even sat down for brunch.  Andy ordered the stuffed chicken with jalapeno cheddar mashed potatoes- William’s recommendation- and I ordered an egg white omelet with brie and asparagus.  Both meals were delicious, but Andy was definitely the victor with the stuffed chicken.  The chicken was deliciously stuffed with goat cheese, sun dried tomatoes, capers, smoked bacon, and basil and the cheddar and jalepeno mashed potatoes were the best mashed potatoes I have tried in ages.  Not the traditional brunch order but an amazing hearty balance of savory flavors and spice.  Our meals came out to about $26 and our all-you-can drinks specials about the same ($12.95 per person, cash only).  For an endless glass of champagne, bustling atmosphere, tasty meal, and friendly service, you cannot go wrong at HK.  We will certainly be back.
