The days are long and the weeks are hard. Thankfully, when we’re feeling defeated, we can go to Cheryl’s Global Soul for some seriously good-for-your-soul comfort food. Before opening her brick and mortar Prospect Heights location, Chef Cheryl starred in her own show, Melting Pot, on the Food Network. Her love for cooking started when she was young, in her mother’s kitchen. Now her knowledge of cuisine spans the globe from classical French, contemporary pan-Asian, Pacific Rim to Moroccan and her mouth-watering menu reflects her worldly palette. Conveniently located, Cheryl’s is situated right next to Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Brooklyn Public Library. We suggest going for brunch (though dinner is outstanding too) and then spending a lazy day in the park. Must haves for brunch: pancakes with mixed berries + Chantilly cream and the salmon hash served with a poached egg and toast.
