Two other countries can now enjoy the decadent dining of one Lower East Side institution.
That’s right, the beloved Clinton Street Baking Company is expanding across the globe. The self-proclaimed “brunch king” opened an outpost in Tokyo over the summer. That location has just been matched by a third … in Dubai.
Time Out Dubai reports that Clinton Street Baking Company is slated to open at Burj Views in January 2014. But will people queue for hours at international outposts like they do here at home?
The Clinton Street Baking Company first opened on the Lower East Side back in April 2001. Over a dozen years serving fantastic food means you’ll never get a table for brunch. So enjoy that three-hour queue.
