Epistrophy

This lovely italian restaurant in Nolita is a great spot for brunch. On their so-called “day menu” there are special egg dishes for breakfast like the Butternut Squash and Fontina Omelet, but also sandwiches, salads and, of course, Italian pasta. If you want to cure your hangover with more alcohol, this is also a good spot for drinks. Epistrophy is open from 9 am to midnight.

Bubby’s

Is there a more traditional restaurant for brunch in New York? Bubby’s is definitely the place to have good American comfort food: fried chicken, eggs benedict, omelets, and the famous fluffy pancakes! The brunch is served from 8 am to 4 pm in Tribeca and the Highline location – which is great for the early birds.
