Best Brunch Spots in NYC

Brunch Places NYC

  • Calle Ocho

    It’s actually easy to find good authentic Cuban food outside of Cuba and Miami! Calle Ocho is one of the best brunch spots in NYC and checks all of my Cuban boxes and more, especially with its brunch menu offering unlimited sangria and an entree for $34.95. Que rico!

  • The Butcher’s Daughter

    Looking for “Vegan Brunch NYC” and “Best Brunch NYC”? The Butcher’s Daughter fits both bills. Brunch here is simple, classic, and delicious. It has some of your favorite brunch dishes, with a healthy (and tasty plant-based!) twist. What we love: the Best Kale Salad and the Brazilian Blast Smoothie.

  • Freemans

    You might not know this place is here at first: you have to walk through a colorfully graffitied alleyway to reach the restaurant. Once inside, you’ll find delicious classic brunch food and a cozy interior that will make you want to stay all day. Look for the small bar upstairs too!

  • The Smile 

    I brunched here for the  first time right after I moved to NYC, and I have been in love with the atmosphere, the food, and the delicious freshly-squeezed orange juice mimosas ever since.  My favorite brunch dish: Baked Eggs and Avocado!

  • Prune

    This trendy eatery is pretty small, and you might  have to wait in line for the popular weekend brunches. However, it will all be worth it after trying the Dutch Style Pancakes! The Best Brunch!

  • Little Prince

    You can’t miss this place, Probably my favorite on this list and definitely among the best brunch in NYC. It stands out from the rest of the street with its flower-covered front and its inviting feel. It’s the perfect spot to stop in for a lazy weekend brunch and enjoy good food and tasty cocktails with friends or that special someone.

Boozy Brunch NYC

Mel’s Burgers Bar

This is among the best brunch spots in NYC for boozy brunch. It is the place to go for those hangover Sundays, when all we want to eat is a big tasty burger. The bottomless brunch might not help with that hangover too much, but what’s the point of a summer weekend in NYC without a good boozy brunch?

Brunch Besitos,
