Egg Benedict

Looking for the perfect brunch spot in NYC?

Summer is in full swing and one of our favorite summer traditions is a weekend brunch with friends and family! Luckily, there are so many great brunch spots in New York City. You can get buttery pancakes, light and airy waffles, juicy steak and eggs and so much more! So with that in mind, we narrowed it down and here are our picks for the 7 best weekend brunch spots in New York City.

Bubby’s – 120 Hudson St

Bubbys Fried Chicken and Pancakes

One of our all time favorite brunch spots in New York City is Bubby’s. Their fried chicken and pancakes is simply addictive and it has us coming back time and time again to get more! Their fried chicken is just bursting with flavor with every bite and their pancakes are massive and super fluffy.

Ed’s Lobster Bar – 155 Grand St

Ed’s Lobster Bar recently moved to a new, larger location in SoHo and it has plenty of outdoor seating too. They are renown for their fresh seafood and we especially love their lobster rolls. These rolls are packed with succulent lobster and it just hits the spot on the hot summer day. Their lobster benedict is top notch too.

Sweet Chick – 178 Ludlow St & Other Locations

Sweet Chick Chicken & Waffles

Some of the best waffles we ever had was at Sweet Chick and they come in many exciting flavors like apple cinnamon, bacon cheddar and chocolate chip just to name a few. One tip we have to avoid the long lines during the weekends is to check out their locations in the outer boroughs (164 Bedford Ave and 341 Flatbush Ave in Brooklyn and 46-42 Vernon Blvd, Queens).

Freemans – Freeman Alley

Hidden away in a very easy to miss alley in the Lower East Side is Freemans. It is a beautiful restaurant and they serve classic American dishes with hints of French influences done right. Our go-tos here for brunch are their signature cheeseburgers and their salmon benedict.
