Outdoor brunch this weekend?

Anyone know of a place with great food and an outdoor space (garden, sidewalk, patio) that will be open by this weekend? A lot of places seem not to be opening their gardens for a few weeks...
Thanks!

    I bet anywhere with outdoor space will be open this weekend since it's supposed to be quite nice weather for once. Imagine Bar & Grill on 1st Ave. and 7th Street (I think) has a nice back open space, quite large. Good brunch, I remember delicious whole grain toast and an omelette.

      Blue Water Grill has nice outdoor space and good food. Next door in Union Square, Coffee Shop also has a nice outdoors that is usually open (though I find the place annoying).

        It's been a little chilly for outdoor dining here in New York. I'm sure availability of such a place will have a lot to do with the weather. Weather.com might be a better place to check!

        Most places in the Village and Chelsea (including my personal favorite, Gascogne) seem to open their outdoor seating earlier than the rest of the city.

          Gascogne, the French bistro, on 8th Av., b/t 17th & 18th Sts., serves a delicious brunch. They try to keep their lovely garden open whenever possible.
