Jack’s Wife Freda Is Where SoHo Chic Meets Mediterranean Comfort Food

[tw-divider]The Scoop[/tw-divider]

  • Jack’s Wife Freda is a SoHo brunch staple, with killer lunch and dinner options as well, serving what NY Magazine calls “South African Israeli Jewish Grandmother Cuisine” in a charming 55-seat cafe 
  • Husband and wife owners, Dean and Maya Jankelowitz, named the restaurant after Dean’s grandmother; you’ll see the adorable duo racing around between their SoHo and West Village locations
  • Dishes like green shakshuka, the Madame Freda (duck prosciutto, cheddar béchamel, gruyere, and a sunny side up egg) or the rosewater waffle (Lebanese yogurt, mixed berries, and honey syrup) are incredibly addicting, and be sure to quench your thirst with a cantaloupe mimosa or mint lemonade
