A selection of the best brunches in NYC

Brunch at Cloister Cafe – $15/$20 – East Village

Posted by Thomas Adamski

Rating: ★★★★☆

Just a few meters from the noisy St Mark’s Place, welcome to a cosy place to brunch in a sumptuous garden. One of the most beautiful in the city ! On a sunny day, impossible to resist to a table in this perfectly arranged patio with paving stones, a little fountain, abounding vegetation on wall and above you. It’s gorgeous and lovely.

Inside, it’s not bad either. When you penetrate in the main dining room, you also understand why the restaurant is called The Cloister Cafe. Its stained glass windows procure a real sensation of peace… You don’t have other options : you just fall in love with the place. Read the rest of this entry »

Brunch at Café Mogador – $20/$30 – East Village

Posted by Thomas Adamski
Rating: ★★★★☆
Simply one of the best brunches in the East Village. This has been a neighborhood favorite for 25 years. The line you see is not for a Coldplay concert, but a chance to dine at this lovely Moroccan restaurant.
Don’t miss a taste of the cheap delicious tagines (from 14,5$). Timeless standards with a Moroccan twist have kept patrons coming back for more and more: Try the moroccan benedict eggs over muffin with homefries and salad. All egg dishes are organic and served for 12$ with fresh orange juice and choice of cappuccino, expresso or tea. Read the rest of this entry »

Brunch at Prune – $20/$30 – East Village

Posted by Thomas Adamski
Rating: ★★★★★
It’s the rule with every tiny treasure in NY. Prune is no exception : expect long waits and a crowd. However, trust us, it’s worth it.

The neighborhood is crazy about this restaurant thanks to the parisian vintage decor and home cooking. This very innovative and hearty new american bistro serves a wonderful brunch, maybe the best of the East Village/LES. Read the rest of this entry »

Rating: ★★★½☆

Back Forty might be one of those unusual places that does a better brunch than dinner. The limited selections that can be kind of frustrating at an evening meal are welcome at brunch when it’s just a little harder to make a decision. There are no drink specials or prix fixe options – everything is a la carte (including $3 coffee – little things like these can easily make your bill creep up if you’re not paying attention). In general, the food is good: The line cooks at Back Forty understand that how eggs look is even more important than how they taste: Poached eggs are just firm enough, and sunny side up are perfectly prepared and presented.

Brunch at Cafe Pick Me Up – $15 – East Village

Posted by Thomas Adamski
Rating: ★★★½☆
Facing to Tompkins Square Park, with large windows and a cozy terrace, The « Pick me Up » is a great brunch spot on a sunny day. But don’t skip it even if the weather isn’t perfect – the anti-modern wood interior offers a real charm with its ten rustic tables.

The clientele might be browsing a free newspaper, working on their laptop or chatting with friends. It’s an authentic East Village atmosphere with courteous young staff. There’s no table service for food – you have to order at the counter. Read the rest of this entry »
