Restaurants Perfect For Chronic Brunch

our suggestions

  1. Char No. 4
    8.4

    Char No. 4

    196 Smith Street, Brooklyn, NY

    Char No. 4 is essentially our New York City dream house – a warm, inviting space with a wall of bourbon and a smoker. This is Southern influenced food in New York City, and it’s damn good.

  2. Five Points

    Five Points

    31 Great Jones St., NoHo, NY

    One of the most reliable and universally likeable restaurants we’ve been to, coming through in the clutch time after time.

  3. The National

    The National

    557 Lexington Ave., Midtown, NY

    Restaurants get after us online all the time. They try and lure us in for a review by telling us how great they are over and over again, most with wreckless disregard and absolutely zero tact. Restaurants that agressively hustle to get people like us in the door to write about them generally suck. That’s [...]

  4. Cookshop

    Cookshop

    156 10th Ave., Chelsea, NY

    There aren’t many restaurants in New York City that you can count on for an excellent meal regardless of circumstance, and this one is certainly among the few. Breakfast, brunch, and dinner are all amazing, and that Cookshop needs to be on your list.

  5. Buttermilk Channel
    8.2

    Buttermilk Channel

    524 Court St., Brooklyn, NY

    A true Brooklyn Neighborhood Hang, and it’s equally popular among young hipster singles and the families that fill it for Sunday dinner. The fried chicken is one of the best you’ll find in town, and almost everything else you’ll eat here is fantastic.

  6. Westville Chelsea
    8.2

    Westville Chelsea

    246 W. 18th St., Chelsea, NY

    Our love for Westville is well documented. It’s a rare breed of restaurant in this town – a well priced, one stop shop that’s equally reliable for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert. It’s healthy when you want it to be, but isn’t afraid to get and down and dirty either. It’s also one of the [...]

  7. Diner

    Diner

    85 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY

    Believe it or not, people used to live in Williamsburg because it was cheaper than Manhattan, not because it was cool. Before the hipster invasion began in the late 90′s, the South side belonged to the Hasidim and Peter Luger. Sure, there were always artists, musicians and .com hopefuls living there, but it was nothing [...]

  8. Caracas Arepa Bar
    8.1

    Caracas Arepa Bar

    91 E. 7th St., East Village, NY

    Caracas takes pride in serving the most authentic Venezuelan food in the city. Who are we to disagree? This is by far and away the best Venezuelan restaurant we’ve been to. It’s also the only Venezuelan place we’ve been to.

  9. Prime Meats
    8.1

    Prime Meats

    465 Court St., Brooklyn, NY

    An Infatuation go-to from the proprietors of the Frankies restaurants (457 & 17). The menu is heavy and meat-centric, but most everything is incredible, especially the steaks and anything that sounds German, which is pretty much everything. Also, make sure come for brunch.

  10. Jane
    8.0

    Jane

    100 West Houston, Greenwich Village, NY

    Head spinning after a long day of getting dragged around Soho with the female? Find salvation in a crisp Blue Point Toasted Lager draft and steak frites at Jane. It’ll help restore the equilibrium. The predecessor to fratty East Village favorite, The Smith, Jane is its slightly more sophisticated older sister.
