Brunch in New York

The Waverly Inn

30s / 40s / A-list / Ambient / Artists

Party Earth Review The green farmhouse façade of The Waverly Inn may suggest a typical West Village café, but the chic or connected patrons who actually get a table will find a bustling gastropub with a hint of downtown elitism. Another venture by Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter, the venue features a décor of velvety red walls, copper bulldog ... more

Bathtub Gin

20s / 30s / 40s / Bloody Marys / EDM / DJ

Party Earth Review It may be an ordinary coffee shop by day, but it’s the not-so-covertly hidden speakeasy in back that draws the real thirsty crowd to Bathtub Gin at night. Come 6pm, the bouncer makes the joint look like the most exclusive café in town, but patrons entering into this 1920s-styled watering hole aren’t looking for cappuccinos ... more

Beauty & Essex

20s / 30s / 40s / Affluent / Ambient

Party Earth Review Straight out of a young girl’s wildest dreams, Beauty & Essex is a downtown hotspot that attracts an upscale clientele of edgy downtown types, clubbers, and glam party girls looking for a magical night out. A tiny 50s-era pawnshop hawking antique radios and guitars out front gives way to a 10,000-square-foot bar, lounge ... more

Party Earth Review Held over from the venue’s previous incarnation, a sign out front promises “authentic southern and Cajun cookin’,” but the trendy gals and hip locavores at ACME won’t find gumbo on the restaurant’s avant-garde Nordic menu, nor is there a trace of Louisiana in the chilled-out but über-exclusive downstairs lounge.

NYC Brunch Overview

A meal tailor-made for the average late-partying jet-setter, brunch in New York is a must. All over the city, Sunday mornings are host to this conjoined twin of a meal, garnished with cantaloupe and lemon bread.

The average Manhattan brunch involves the quaint cafes of Greenwich Village, Chelsea, and the Upper East Side. Here, chic young professionals and well-dressed older characters laugh and chat over eggs, coffee, and the occasional Bloody Mary, soaking up the street life from outdoor seating or warming themselves in cozy back rooms. Brooklyn, meanwhile, hosts more hearty New York brunches, with bearded hipsters and their vintage-clad girlfriends enjoying kegs-and-eggs meals around warm, battered wooden tables.

However, the new trend in NYC brunches is the party brunch. At these high-octane early-afternoon get-togethers, clubs and hot new restaurants serve brunch food and booze galore to overdressed club-kid patrons, only to have DJs fire up some hot beats midway through. Suddenly, dishy girls are dancing on tables and waiters are carrying sparkler-loaded magnums of champagne across the floor, while indie bloggers snap photos and scribble notes on the day’s debauchery.

While it may not be part of this nutritional breakfast, brunch in New York is a fun and carefree way to get your vittles in the Big Apple.
