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.

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