BRUNCH BABES: WEEKEND HIT LIST 


Another weekend is upon us  and we have survived another work week, suffice to say this one was a SCORCHER! We are happy to say the HIT LIST is back! Think of this as a quick weekend reference guide for Brunch picks. We know that every bruncher has a different price point and requirement of brunch so we have split up the list into some categories and there is something for everybody..  In a gastronomical paradise of over  18,000 restaurants we think this list can be pretty handy! Happy Brunching.


BRUNCH FOR GROUPS 

Panorama Cafe 





Where: 1574 2nd Avenue ( Btwn 81-82nd Street)
When: 10 am -4:30 pm Sat & Sun
Phone Number: 212.772.2220
Comments: Located in the trendy Upper East Side for $15 extra convert your brunch into AYCD with a selection of Mimosas, Bellini, Screwdriver & Bloody Mary. No particular need to reserve laid back vibe, varied menu that covers the traditional American breakfast fare to more savory brunch items. Stroll in with friends in tow and get ready for a great time...Tell Homer the babes sent you =)



BRUNCH ON A BUDGET
Vamos NYC



Where: 348 1st Avenue ( Btwn 20-21st Street)

When: 12 pm -4:00 pm Sat & Sun


Phone Number: 212.358.7800

Comments: For an additional $7 dollars ( the price of one cheap drink may we add) you can commence a 90 min AYCD frozen margarita party. Entrees are price between 12-15 dollars a plate, inside and outdoor seating available. Good place for a weekend Brunch date on a budget so treat a special  señorita  or señorito. 

YOU FANCY HUH....
Bistrot Bagatelle




Where: 409 W 13th street ( Btwn 9th Ave & Washington Ave)

When: 1pm – Till you can’t party anymore Saturday. Closed Sunday

Phone Number: 212.255.9717 (Reservations Required)

Comments: This is the home and birthplace of the champagne brunch where if you have an extraordinary event to celebrate or promotion round up the crew and head down. Recently re-launched in May this boozy brunch aims to take you from NYC to St. Tropez in one sitting. Once the brunch party ensues DJ's come out, sparklers from bottles of champagne and strolling out way past dark is what you can expect. If you don't make reservations try to arrive before 2pm to score an entrance for your ritzy friends and you. 

GRAND OPENING 

Empire Rooftop

Where: 44 W 63rd street

When: 2pm – Till you can’t party anymore Saturday.

Brunch Menu: Very limited information available seems like this will be more of a liquid brunch. However the rooftop regularly has a menu available so we are sure you will find something to nosh on.
Phone Number: 212.265.7400 (Reservations Required)

Comments: With the grand opening this weekend this party has been dubbed “La Vita Brunch Party” by Empire hotel. From 2pm on you can expect a nonstop brunch party with 360 views of Manhattan of Empires rooftop. Though they haven’t released a menu yet the rooftop has a regular menu and with the infamous Ed’s Chowder House down below we are sure Empire will have decadent eats to match the flowing libations. If you attend make sure to report back from the dance floor!
