9 brunch rooms in New York City we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in New York City | Brunch across every city.
Brunch in New York is less a meal than a weekend ritual, spread across diners, bakeries and bistros that lean into it. Buvette in the West Village serves an all-day French version, Sadelle's in SoHo built its reputation on stacked bagel towers, and Clinton Street Baking Company on the Lower East Side draws lines for pancakes. Minetta Tavern in Greenwich Village shows the upscale end of the same habit.
