Ahhhh brunch…one of my favorite meals! These are our faves to brunch in the city
1. Pastis
www.pastisny.com
9 9th Avenue (corner of Little W12th)
A NYC institution. The wait is not always pleasant and they can be snobby but the food is well worth it. Sit outdoors in the summer and get the liver pate, the steak tar tar, the french toast and eggs with salmon. And of course don’t forget a Bellini! A perfect way to start the weekend 
2. Schiller’s Liquor Bar
www.schillersny.com
Pastis’s sister on the Lower East Side. Good all around much like it’s swankier meatpacking sibling.
3. Landmarc
www.landmarc-rstaurant.com
179 West Broadway (between Leonard & Worth St.)
Get the Eggs en Meurette and the Pain Perdu. ‘nuf said
4. Mudd
307 East 9th St (corner of 2nd Ave)
Best pancakes in the city hands down. Also great Huevos Rancheros. And the prices can’t be beat!
5. Stanton Social
www.thestantonsocial.com
99 Stanton St (between Orchard & Ludlow)
More than just a little scene-y but the food is great! Kobe beef burger, Warm doughnuts, French onion soup dumplings, Mac & Cheese and the Baby Benedicts are all a must. Portions are small but filling and great Bellinis and Bloody Marrys to match.
6. La Gazzetta at Villa Pacri
www.villapacri.com/lagazzetta
55 Gansevoort St. (between 9th Ave and Washington)
Great place to sit outdoors in meatpacking on a summer morning. Usually less snobby than Pastis but that may change as the place gets etablished. Try the cheese plate, the Uova al Forno (baked eggs) and the Nutella Crepe.
7. Virage
www.viragenyc.com
118 2nd Ave (corner of 7th St.)
Cute East Village spot. Get the Goat Cheese Ftitata and the Mediteranean Breakfast.
