This Might Be the Best Way to Spend $16 in Bushwick

If you happen to find yourself in Bushwick, with a $20 bill burning a hole in your pocket, resist the urge to spend it on something at Beacon’s Closet, as we so often do. Instead, strongly consider heading right next door to the laid-back gastropub, Tutu’s, which, in addition to doing the always welcome $1 oyster bit, also offers a bang-up $16 prix fixe, served Monday to Friday, from 11am to 4pm—rather like a leisurely midweek brunch.

The fact that the deal includes your choice of coffee or tea (yes, even iced!) plus a mimosa or bloody mary also fosters the lazy Sunday illusion, which can be further aided by the $4 “mightymosa” upgrade, which buys a mason jar-sized drink. A duo of food options includes a righteous (if rather unwieldy) BLT—accompanied by a nicely dressed arugula salad or haystack of rosemary and shallot-encrusted fries—which is totally worth dribbling herb-flecked aioli down the front of your shirt. That being said, we ended up dissecting the towering sandwich with a knife and fork, spearing colorful bites of grilled, thickly-cut sourdough bread, accordions of beautifully rendered slab bacon, pop art-red Jersey farm tomatoes and crunchy frills of romaine.

The alternate order is that highly Instagrammable treat, avocado toast; here, the creamy crescents are fanned across seven grain bread, along with pico de gallo and a pair of any-style eggs (needless to say, sunny side or over-easy are the only acceptable selections). It’s enough to make you want to kick back, loosen your belt buckle, and play hooky the rest of the day.
