Editorial Review for 9th Street Market--CLOSED – by Karen Hudes
The Scene
Butter-colored walls, fresh flowers and a creamy pressed-tin ceiling add liveliness and warmth to this slender East Village perennial. Couples and banquet-style parties populate the tables, while small groups vie for the window seat strewn with pillows. Weekend brunches draw the varied, stylish neighborhood denizens one would expect; weekday evenings attract a more conservative crowd.
The Food
Touches of sweetness enhance the rib-sticking menu, in dishes like the pecan-coated catfish with bourbon-maple butter and collard greens, and juicy roast chicken with a preserved lemon-olive sauce. Salt cod croquettes provide a full-bodied opening to the meal, while chocolate souffle finishes with pleasing, gooey comfort. For brunch, go for the fluffy raisin challah French toast or Tex-Mex scrambled eggs with fresh tortillas and a side of crisp pork sausage.

I went to 9th Street Market on Sunday and LOVED LOVED LOVED it! We only had a 15 minute wait and the “bearded waiter” made sure to come find us outside when our table was ready. He was not only really nice but very attentive and bought us a round of FREE drinks. The Food was outstanding and the other customers were very delightful! Everyone seemed happy with their food...some even gave my friend and I recommendations. I would highly recommend this place and the staff! I will definitely be back! Plus the check was extremely reasonable!
Pros: Great Food, Great Atmosphere
Cons: Could be a bit of a wait for a table when busy!

I woke up early to eat at 9th St. market because I heard good things, however the food was taking a long time to come, my friend politely asked the waiter how long our pancakes would be. Our bearded waiter rudely barked, "10 people ordered pancakes, LEAVE if you want" after being embarassed in public we decided that we would take our business elsewhere. I don't want to support a business who's employee or perhaps the owner is rude to polite innocent customers just trying to enjoy a pancake before work. fyi I've worked as a waitress myself and I've never acted this way(they weren't even busy)! If you're looking for a good breakfast place, I would suggest Mud (a few doors down on 9th) anyday instead of 9th St. horrible market!! Service is better there :)
Pros: Food presentation
Cons: Rude Service, impolite staff
