Hakuna Mimosa - it means it’s brunchtime. Or, at least, so goes the joke. And there’s no better city in which to grab brunch, than New York City. Brunch is not just a meal here, it’s a lifestyle. And it doesn’t just come with eggs and juice, but usually an array of options, from stuffed french toast to avocado toast and everything in between. So get ready, get dressed, and check out any of these amazing brunch spots in New York.
1. Sadelle's

If you’re looking for a restaurant that will give you La La Land vibes, then Sadelle’s is the place you should go. It’s operated by the Major Food Group and has a Hollywood Musical feel and great food to go along with it. They are most famous for their bagels (which are free*) and lox, but their blueberry pancakes and grilled cheese are also really good!
*If you’re dining in, the bagels are free - you can order as many as you’d like. But if you order takeout, they’re 2 USD a piece!

4. Two Hands Restaurant & Bar

Two Hands Restaurant & Bar is a trendy brunch spot in Tribeca. The restaurant focuses on adding a creative spin to simple, yet nutritious dishes. As soon as you walk in, you get a fun, relaxed vibe, with lots of light and plants, in both their indoor and outdoor seating areas.
Be sure to try one of their expertly crafted coffees or cocktails. Personally, I recommend the Smashed Avocado and Watermelon Margarita. Bonus: All of the servers here seem to have an Australian accent…which is always a plus, in my books.

Missing the summer sun from the South? Or maybe you’re just missing all the comfort food the South has to offer? Well, whatever the reason, the Smith is the place to go when you’re feeling Southern. The menu is extensive, with options including pancakes, sandwiches, eggs done in a variety of ways, steaks, salads and more!
Feeling like a cocktail? You can get that too, or you can get coffee, tea, or one of their house-made sodas - I like the Watermelon Mint.

7. The Stanton Social
The Stanton Social, a collaboration between celebrity chef Chris Santos and Tao Group’s Rich Wolf, helps add a little spice to your brunch game - tapas style. So, you can try everything your heart desires and more. But, you might fight over the Lobster Roll Sliders or Oreo Cookie Pancakes. The lounge is a three-level space, with a wine wall, featuring over 2000 bottles of wine and it just oozes glamour and luxury - so it’s definitely a place you want to visit. And, don’t worry, just because the space is luxe, doesn’t mean you’ll be emptying your wallet - all brunch options are reasonably priced, so your wallet and stomach will be thanking you.

At Carroll Place, a gastropub and wine bar, you can have pizza, eggs, or pasta and two hours of unlimited mimosas, rosé sangria, or Bloody Mary’s - all for 26 USD.

This popular Mexican restaurant tops the brunch list, for many. During brunch, they feature a 32.99 USD prix fixe menu, where you can pick a brunch entree and enjoy two hours of unlimited wine, mimosas or frozen margaritas (and you can mix and match your drinks). I love my breakfast options, so I would recommend the Cinnamon Brioche French Toast, but other favorites are the Three Egg Omelette (with your choice of add-ins) and the Egg White Frittata.
