I don’t know about you, but Brunch is without question my favorite meal. I just love breakfast foods, and all its variations. Get you some Eggs Benedict, combine it with lots of Mimosas or Bloody Marys, and it’s just a grand old time for me. I happen to go to Brunch a lot with some of my girlfriends, being that our schedules are so crazy, that this always turns out to be the best time to meet up for us. The gossip gets better with each Bellini, it’s seriously so fun. I always look for bottomless Brunches, because if you have to pay by the glass, then it adds up quickly. However, sometimes the places that offer bottemless drinks, don’t always have the best food! Not that anything is actually inedible, but I’m a bit of a breakfast snob. So: here are five restaurants that do all of it right! Great food, great drinks, and bottomless to top it off.
Seamore’s
Seamore’s has several locations in the city, and we chose the location on the Upper Eastside. On Saturdays and Sundays between 11 am and 3 pm, brunch will cost you the price of a brunch entree, plus pay an additional $32 for unlimited cocktails for 90 minutes. Choose from Mimosas, Bellinis, Bloody Marys and Aperol Spritzers. The food is seafood centric, and it is absolutely delicious. I chose the Lobster Benedict, and it was outstanding. The restaurant is beautiful and spacious, it’s a great choice for Weekend Brunch.
Añejo
Añejo has two locations, one in Hell’s Kitchen and one in the West Village. Both are really great. Brunch is on Saturdays and Sundays from 11:30 am to 3:30 pm. For $55 you get to choose a Brunch entree, and then enjoy unlimited amounts of Blanco Margarita, Bloody Maria, Red Sangria or Mimosa for 90 minutes. I personally love the Bloody Maria, which is a Bloody Mary with Tequila Blanco, instead of vodka. So good. Being that this place is Mexican, my go-to here are the Morning Tacos with scrambled eggs, pork shoulder, chorizo hash, salsa verde, pico de Gallo,cotija cheese and cilantro. Totally delicious, pretty much like everything else on the menu.
Pig & Khao
Pig & Khao is one of my favorite restaurants in New York. It’s where I discovered my love for Pork Belly. The food is Southeast Asian, and the chef and owner is one of the best in the city, in my opinion. Absolutely everything on the menu is addictive to me. Brunch? I personally chose the Banh Mi Sliders with Pork Belly (of course), which are everything you want. Bottomless Mimosas are on the menu, but in all kinds of flavors: for $21 in addition to your meal, the flavors are orange, guava, mango and peach, You can also choose draft beer. All that for 90 minutes, Saturdays and Sundays 11 am til 3 pm.
Kyma
And then there’s Kyma. What a beautiful restaurant. This place ranks high on my list with or without brunch. But brunch we did. This is a traditionally Greek restaurant, so your brunch plates can be Greek as can be. Their food is delicous, Greek or American. Pay for your breakfast plate, and add $40 for unlimited Bellinis, Mimosas, Bloody Marys or Sangria for 90 minutes. Here I had Smoked Salmon Benedict, which was super scrumptious. Brunch hours are Saturday and Sunday from 11:30 am until 3:30 pm.
Follia
Last, but not least, there is Follia. This place is a total steal. Located on the corner of 17th Street and 3rd Avenue, this place is rustic and very Italian. Their Pre-Fix brunch is a really good deal. Bloody Marys, Bellinis and Mimosas are served for 90 minutes for the price of $32, which includes your brunch plate! I chose the breakfast pizza, and I loved every bite. I couldn’t even finish it. Great deal, great food, it’s a must. Get your brunch on, on Saturdays and Sundays from 11:30 to 3:30.
