Yes, we've seen our fair share of awkward Martin Luther King Jr.-themed menus in this city, but this one is by far the most questionable: EV Grieve caught sight of East Village's 24-hour hangover helper 7A's "I had a dream"-themed "Brunch Pre Fixe." A step back for civil rights and spelling, all in one fell swoop! In the restaurant's defense, however: at least they know what "MLK" stands for. [via Eater]
