I love pancakes. Well to take a step back, the truth is that I love carbs in every variety. But pancakes hold a special place in my heart and stomach, particularly when they’re from IHOP (I hear you calling my name you delicious Harvest Grain and Nut pancakes). That’s why I’m so excited about [...]

After much deliberation, Laura, Doug, McKenna and I headed over to Andreas’ in Gramercy for dinner and a few drinks last night. I had been there once before with my mom for brunch and I was pleased with the delicious bread basket served and my chicken Caesar salad, so I was happy to try it again [...]

Editor’s note: We love Blockheads and have written about it as a lunch and dinner spot. Want to know though what goes on at brunch? Keep reading!
I’m extremely anal (I know, bad word to use in a blog about food) when it comes to eating [...]

I’ve recently read that Cer té (55th between 5th and 6th), a small midtown lunch place, has phenomenalsandwiches. So I checked out their menu and was thrilled to discover they also offer a great brunch (not on Sundays) at reasonably low prices. So last [...]

Challenge: Find a place that sits 7 girls, takes a reservation on a Sunday at 1 p.m. and offers unlimited drinks.
Answer: Arte Pasta.
With my friend Kristen back in town from Atlanta, a few of my girlfriends and I gathered for brunch last weekend to catch up. Being sorority sisters, clearly we needed to find [...]

Two friends recently came in from Boston and we knew we wanted a nice restaurant where we could relax, chat, and, of course, have good food at a reasonable price. We decided to try out the lunch special at bar.vetro on 58th Street between [...]

I seem to generally stick to my three favorite cuisines - Thai, Mexican and Italian - so I thought it’d be best for me to branch out a little and try a French restaurant. Luckily I had a City Shuffle Diner’s Deck to the small French bistro Mon Petit Cafe on the Upper East Side, [...]

I guess I was naïve. I thought that the much hyped brunch at HK Cafe was $13 for your meal and AYCD. I’m an idiot. I figured this out upon arrival, but was met with another little surprise: the price of AYCD has risen to $15. I don’t do brunch very often, so maybe this [...]

We just heard from a rep at Bar Blanc Bistro that their new brunch menu will start this Sunday, May 3rd. To celebrate its first brunch, all patrons will be able to enjoy a 50% discount on specialty drinks: Bloody Mary, Cucumber Martini and a West 10th Street Iced Tea. I haven’t tried the first [...]

While I love finding new bars and restaurants for lunch or dinner, picking a brunch spot stresses me out. People want to eat cheaply, and more importantly drink cheaply, and for some reason “cheap” takes on a whole new meaning during the earlier hours of the day.
A few weekends ago I had to find a [...]
