New York City has many amazing sights that can be a little overwhelming when visiting for the first or even hundredth time. It is one of the best cities for food when you crave something different; it’s the melting pot of all cultures. To help you decide where to eat the next time you’re in New York, I’ve compiled a top 10 list for your brunch needs.

1. Jack’s Wife Freda

A lively all-day bistro that serves Mediterranean-American cooking and cocktails, sign me up! Jack’s Wife Freda is a dream for anyone looking to capture the perfect Instagram photo and the food is also delicious. Everything feels “made with love” and the vibe has been so quaint and charming every time I’ve dined there.

2. Sadelle’s

This New York-style Deli gives you the best brunch experience for your taste buds. It’s a bit on the higher-priced end, but they serve unlimited bagels with your order, making it a very easy decision. Sadelle’s tuna melt, omelettes, inverted grilled cheese, and chopped salads are all A1.

3. Daily Provisions

Daily Provisions is a cute little café just north of Union Square. It was an easy place for people in the neighborhood to gather. The small blue space is cheery, and even though it’s mostly standing, you will see people pass by from morning until night. It’s quite popular with their delicious breakfast sandwiches and perfect loaves of bread.

4. Pastis

When you want to feel a little more classy, you go to Pastis. It is a French bistro serving classic brunch. When you walk in, you will immediately see the gorgeous mosaic tiling on the floor. It has warm and flattering lighting, making it an excellent spot to disconnect from the city, relax and enjoy your food.

5. Egg

Need some southern comfort in your life? Well, this small and welcoming rustic spot is right up your alley. They have all the southern staples you need, such as grits and eggs and biscuits and gravy. Egg carries healthier options as well. Did I mention that everything is locally sourced, meaning you can eat guilt-free?

6. Café Mogador

Step into the land of spices as you enter this Moroccan restaurant. The food looks fantastic and serves some fan favorites such as hummus, couscous, and kebabs. If you’re looking for a new take on brunch, Café Mogador is the move.

7. ABCV

Need a vegetarian spot or just trying to fit into a healthy lifestyle? ABCV is the best choice with their brunch bowls, filled with coconut yogurt, seasonal citruses, and granola.

8. Dimes

This friendly, modern place is perfect when you want to be somewhere cozy. The food is always fresh, and the portions are just right, making you feel recharged and ready for more exploring. Dimes is currently open for outdoor dining and to-go.

9. Russ and Daughters Café

A beautiful retro café that specializes in Jewish comfort food. Perfect for any time of day, whether it is for a light snack or dinner. Enjoy the “haimishness” or warmth it has to offer. Russ and Daughters Café is great for the hearty options you crave like lox, matzo ball soup, rugelach and more.

10. Santina

A beautiful and sleek Italian restaurant. You feel as though you are transported to the coastlines of Italy as you dine on seafood and grilled fare. Great second or third date spot or amazing to go to a more upscale spot in meatpacking with friends. Drinks & mojitos at Santina are a must!
