Lexington Brass does eggs Benedict the best! As an egg connoisseur, it is a big deal to make a statement like this. However, it is true! Served with the perfect balance of a salad and home fries, this was the ultimate brunch plate. Although a cappuccino was opted for, they did serve mimosas as well. However, the food was so outrageous there was no room for booze! A great place for American style brunch, and a delicious-looking option of truffle fries. Lexington Brass is more of a casual restaurant, another great place for good food to go with friends on a weekend. 

This burrata is from Nizza in Hell’s Kitchen. It is a French accented Italian restaurant, which is a combination that is just as wonderful as it sounds. Although it may sound like it would be fancy, Nizza is actually pretty casual. They have a delectable brunch menu, where you honestly cannot go wrong with the order. No order envy here! They even offer several gluten free options. A great place for a relaxed brunch and great food with friends. 

This brunch came from the famous by Chloe restaurant. They are known for being “basic” but trendy. If you are a teenage girl visiting NYC, you have probably been to by Chloe. That being said, the majority of the restaurant-goers are young girls having a girls brunch with their friends. While the food is good and the atmosphere is Insta-worthy, it is probably not the first choice of most brunchers. The food is not worth all the hype around the name of the restaurant. 

These explosive red velvet waffles can be found and the notorious Clinton Hall! They also offer them in s’mores flavor, and are very fun to order because of the sparklers, not to mention their deliciousness. On Saturday’s and Sunday’s Clinton Hall offers $3 mimosas!!!! That’s right...you can get THREE MIMOSAS for under $10!!! In addition to their great breakfast foods on the brunch menu, they are also famous for their burgers. Any kind of burger you can think of- burgers with eggs, burgers with fritos, regales burgers, blackbean burgers- you name it, they have it! Clinton Hall’s casual vibe is unique because they also have tons of board games like Clue, Connect Four, and Uno all over to play with friends. Their bench seating makes it fun and communal and the atmosphere is always a blast. A great place for a big group of friends looking for a casual, yet inexpensive brunch!

While this brunch was done at home, the bagels need to be highlighted. Blackseed bagels makes the best bagels in Manhattan- you heard it here first! This is a great option if you want to have a few friends over in the morning before a daytime activity for some homemade mimosas, a bag of these bagels, and their special cream cheese. You can buy the cream cheese by the half pound or pound in many different flavors including plain, chive, and strawberry. Homemade brunch can be lots of fun for you and your friends to get a chance to mingle, sip, and munch!

These eggs are straight out of Lolo’s Seafood Shack in Harlem. It is a Caribbean-style restaurant that gives off an island feel when you are casually dining in the back area on picnic tables. They have a tiki bar and live music on weekends! Lolo’s is by far the most unique brunch place to go, and feels more like a fun and tropical experience with friends. They even serve seafood steampots for your seafood-loving friends. They offer a variety of drinks, including a punch-like mimosa. It is an extremely laid-back place, and most enjoyable when the weather is warm.
