    Norma's isn't too far of a walk from TWC.

      I assume you mean she's staying at the Mandarin Oriental at the time warner ctr. Nearby is Blue Ribbon Sushi/Grill on 58th/8th, open for lunch and good for sushi and japanese-influenced fare. Landmarc and Bouchon Bakery would be good casual options in the TWC. Asiate at the MO is impressive for the view, though wildly overpriced.

        I second Landmarc in TWC. Affordable, good variety and a comfy (but huge) space.

        If you mean the Mandarin Oriental (and I bet you do!), they serve brunch at Asiate for $48, which strikes me as obscene. I haven't had brunch there, but I did have lunch, which was less obscene at $24, and the view was very pretty.

          Petrossian at 58th & 7th. Often overlooked as a good possibility. You'll find info and menus at

            How about brunch at Nougatine?

              Per Se is open for lunch, though if it's very soon, you might have a hard time getting a reservation.

              Aquavit, which is within walking distance of the TWC, has one of the best Sunday brunches in the city. It's not very traditional, so take a look at the menu, first, to make sure you'll like it: http://www.aquavit.org/flash.html
