If you like avocados as much as I do, you will appreciate the simple deliciousness of the avocado toast at Cafe Gitane in Nolita. I've been making myself variations of the avocado-on-bread theme for years but this might be the first time I've seen it as a solo item on a restaurant menu. The avocado is shaped into a creamy mound on top of a thick slice of deliciously wholesome multi-grain bread. The surface comes lightly drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, a squirt of fresh lemon juice, and a sprinkle of red chili flakes. I would have thought a grind of fresh black pepper would have been enough but the mild heat of the chili flakes adds an unexpected but noteworthy kick that contrasts nicely to the creaminess of the avocado. It's a perfect balance of flavors and textures. I could happily eat it every day and not get bored.
