Best Brunch in NYC

Weekend brunch spots New Yorkers actually love — no 2-hour waits.

  1. Lower East Side · $$

    The century-old appetizing shop's sit-down cafe. Order The Classic: sable, sturgeon, salmon, and a bagel.

  2. West Village · $$

    The tiny Parisian-style gastrothèque with waffles that steam a Nutella slice and coffee that lingers.

  3. East Village · $$

    Moroccan brunch that has anchored St. Marks Place since 1983. The tagine eggs are the move.

  4. Lower East Side · $$

    The blueberry pancakes NYC has been standing in line for since 2001.

  5. Williamsburg · $$

    Hazelnut-maple pancakes and a rooftop for warm-weather brunch.

  6. Greenpoint · $$

    Greenpoint's ricotta pancake and truffle burger institution. Waits are long for a reason.

  7. SoHo · $$

    Downtown's cheerful all-day cafe — rosewater waffles, green shakshuka, always packed for a reason.

  8. SoHo · $$$

    Boozy bagel-tower brunch from the Major Food Group. Bloody Marys arrive on a stand.

  9. SoHo · $$$

    Keith McNally's landmark brasserie. Every visitor eats brunch here at least once.

  10. East Village · $$

    The always-reliable NYC brasserie — bottomless mimosas without the cringe, giant salads, and a room that hums.
