Who doesn’t love brunch? I get to wake up late, eat unhealthy yet still delicious (and probably covered in syrup) breakfast, AND catch up with my girls? I’ll take it.
So I asked the lovely ladies of Eyes of NYC where their favorite brunch spot is. And this is what we came up with, enjoy!
Sydney’s favorite: Le Barricou (533 Grand Street, Brooklyn)
It’s no surprise Syd chose a quaint French eatery for her go-to brunch spot. She loves the language...and the food. What is surprising is that it wasn’t the crêpes she was raving about, but rather the “incredible Homemade Buttermilk Pancakes”. They were made entirely from scratch, so it kinda took a while...but she said the wait was "sooo" worth it.
Chanda’s go-to: The Bowery Diner (241 Bowery Street, NYC)
The Bowery Diner, open 24 hours on weekends (pancakes at midnight anyone?), brings a funky, modern twist to the classic diner decor. But it still has those heaping serving sizes that diner’s are known and loved for. When I asked Chanda about her favorite brunch dish, I couldn’t finish my sentence before she burst out with, “The Belgian Waffles. Oh my God, they came with frozen custard that was amazing...and it was only like ten bucks.” You heard it.
Savannah frequents: Cowgirl Seahorse (259 Front Street, NYC)
After being hit pretty bad by Hurricane Sandy, Cowgirl Seahorse managed to get back up and running (and serving us late-risers with yummy brunch) in no time. We actually came here for Chanda’s birthday back in December, and the uniquely decorated cafe (slightly nautical, slightly wild west), left a lasting impression. Savannah raves about their Captain Crunch French-toast, “not too sweet and perfectly crunchy” - I must try them next time!

Tatiana loves: Midnight Express Diner (1715 2nd Ave, NYC)
Another classic diner. Open 24 hours. Large amounts of food. Nutella and Strawberry crêpes. Hungry yet? Tatiana said the best part about this place is that if you take a picture of your meal and post it to Instagram they’ll give you FREE crêpes! Sounds like a deal.
My personal favorite: Cafe Orlin (41 St Marks Place, NYC)
You know a place is good when there’s a line out the door and it's packed at 10 am. The 15 minute wait wasn’t bad and it was well worth it - ‘cause the service was kind and the food was, as expected, great. My taste buds were quite pleased with my choice of Buttermilk Pancakes topped with bananas and blueberries. A simple brunch, yet the fruit was so fresh and the pancakes were so fluffy! I remember being full all day! And now I’m craving them.
*Megan has not yet been to brunch in NYC. So it is my mission this month to take her for the beautiful breakfast/lunch combination!
If you try any of these places, let us know what you think! And tell us where your favorite brunch spot is!
My NYC is Your NYC, Daniella
