For weekend AM brunching and boozing, these are the places I come back to again and again

 1. Jane

100 W Houston St

The Jane is nestled among many other brunch options on W. Houston St but in my opinion is one of the best in the area.  There is often a wait but usually a quick night before / day of reservation is possible on OpenTable minimizes having to wait the…More »

As a local, this is my go-to spot for a satisfying, please-all-palates brunch/lunch or dinner.

While it's tucked away a little off from the madness of the Seaport it is definitely one of the best food options in the Seaport / FiDi area. The standard…More »

Must Have:  Bloody Mary!

Solid brunch that always delivers.  Service can be touch and go (my last time here our waitress brought out everyone's food except my friend who had ordered....biscuits.  very confusing) so don't come if you're in a rush.

Awesome, delicious and somewhat healthy brunch option.

A little out of the way but worth the extra walk over to Ave A for a weekend brunch.  If you get nothing else, get the market sides plate which gives you your choice of 4 of their amazing sides.…More »

Yum!  One of my top brunch spot choices particularly for catching up with my lady friends and/or channeling my inner Carrie Bradshaw.

Gorgeous interior that immediately feels sophisticated and welcoming.  Well dressed clientele, particularly on a…More »

This is for brunch only but both times I've been here for brunch it's been a solid brunch experience.

They don't take reservations for weekend brunch but do have a large seating area so typically we wait 15-30 mins.  When I came here a couple of…More »

Decadent, sophisticated brunch in a cozy yet wide-open spot that's now my favorite Tom Colicchio spot in the city.

Came here for brunch last weekend with 3 friends and thoroughly enjoyed the food and atmosphere, making the trek to 10th ave worthwhile.…More »

The purpose of the SB Cow is for a boozy brunch with decent food.  For that, it more than satisfies my needs.

This is not the place for amazing food plus a cocktail in a luxurious or super adorable location.  Try to make a reservation or else face the…More »

 9. Crepes Du Nord

17 S William St
New York, NY 10004

Crepes Du Nord is a great addition to the Stone St. area, though if you blink you might miss its understated entrance and low-key signage.

The place is tiny, with limited tables and minimal waitstaff, so may not be the place to have a long brunch with…More »

Yum!  Despite all the hype the Doughnut Plan delivers with unique, melt in your mouth cake and yeast doughnuts in a range of flavors.

Loved the glazed coconut doughnut as well as the tres leches but in general as long as you pick a flavor profile that…More »

Came here for Saturday girls brunch.  

The location is definitely out of the way, on Avenue C, but the restaurant is cute, with chandeliers, modern decor and a decent outdoor space.  In sunny, gorgeous spring weather Matilda is worth the trek.
