Le Peep features a wide variety of brunch items from crepes, omelets and skillets to my personal favorite: Crabby Patty Benedict – two delicious crab cakes that sit atop a perfectly toasted English muffin, garnished with poached eggs and Hollandaise sauce; served with brunch potatoes and cinnamon apples.
