Brunch has been giving everyone an excuse to start drinking early and indulge in their favorite meals for as long as we can remember. New York City is famous for their brunch and is home to hundreds of options, but a few stand out amongst the rest. From DIY Bloody Mary to bottomless drinks for hour spans at a time, there really is nothing better than brunch in the big city.

Pera Soho is the perfect spot for groups of any size. Whether it’s in the indoor space or the seasonally open outdoor garden, the combination of food and ambiance sets the stage for a perfect experience. What more could you ask for than garden and garden gazebo dining in the warmer months and indoor semi-private and private dining in the cooler months?

Beauty & Essex may have the most elaborate selection on our list! Their brunch menu boasts an incredible mix of sweet and salty options, with highlights including Red Velvet Waffles, Bagel & Lox Board, Vanilla Beignets, an array of different jewels on toast, and Grilled Cheese, Smoked Bacon, & Tomato Soup Dumplings (my favorite- and they can be made without the bacon, vegetarians rejoice!)
