Day June Lunchonette is a small local restaurant serving American classics for breakfast and lunch.  The present owners, Ely and Danielle Franco, have been the owners for about a year and a half, but it’s been a restaurant space for some time.  The name is a take on lunch in French dejeuner.  Inside are a variety of table sizes and an L-shaped counter with stools.   Windows to the street, a new wood floor and art on the walls are complimented by music in the background.  Breakfast is served all day and service was super friendly.  The menu isn’t huge but is well chosen to highlight foods you want to try.  If I get back to the area, I certainly would go again and hope you will to when you visit the Catskills.

Food

The Club Sandwich contained turkey, bacon, Swiss, lettuce, tomato, mustard and mayo on toasted wheat bread.  Sandwiches come with a choice of chips or fries and we chose the latter.  The lettuce was Leaf lettuce and the touch of mustard blended in seamlessly. The moist turkey was great, the bacon smokey and crisp, and the balance of ingredients was spot on.   The wheat bread had seeds and was nicely toasted. This was a fine version of a club sandwich.  The fries were crispy, hot and plentiful.

The Dipper was a grass fed beef burger patty coated in Cooper sharp cheese and topped with pickles and grilled onions.  The meat was cooked medium rare as requested and the fresh bun was topped with sesame seeds and lightly toasted on the inside.   This started as a dipped sandwich and evolved into being a burger surrounded by melted cheese sauce.  The mild cheese sauce was creamy and nicely accented by the thin pickle slices.  It was beefy tasting meat and a fine sandwich, but I will admit I ditched the top bun and ate it with a fork.  I might have cooked the onions a bit more but they were fine as is.  This is one of their signature dishes.
