500512 Tue Mar 18 20:43:14 -0700 2008 16 18 Manhattan 0 3506146 We would like to have a nice cute brunch in the West Village for around 5 or 6 ppl. Preferably somewhere that allows reservation so we won't have to wait in the cold for too long. Any price range is fine as long as it is a nice place. Something in the likes of Danal, or Blue Ribbon, Cookshop, 44 & X would do too. Could somebody suggest places pretty please?

Wed Mar 19 00:15:25 -0700 2008 3506146 95060 idia 1 3506528 Wallse takes reservations - serves interesting, Austrian inspired food. Wed Mar 19 04:41:43 -0700 2008 3506146 10985 MMRuth 1 3506670 It's easier to get brunch reservations at Perilla than dinner ones. The spicey duck burger there is delicious. Wed Mar 19 06:23:36 -0700 2008 3506146 97633 BW212 2 3507172 Ditto and they have nice comfy booths. It's actually pretty quiet there during brunch. Wed Mar 19 08:49:40 -0700 2008 3506670 10936 kathryn 1 3506793 Perry Street has a very nice prix-fixe for brunch and it's a beautiful restaurant. Also Little Owl has a wonderful Sunday brunch and if you can get in it's definitely a treat. Wed Mar 19 07:06:58 -0700 2008 3506146 165349 west village foodie 1 3508333 I'm a big fan of Blue Ribbon. Wed Mar 19 13:31:22 -0700 2008 3506146 115738 BlueHerons 2 3508343 I thought they didn't open until 4pm? Wed Mar 19 13:33:26 -0700 2008 3508333 10985 MMRuth 3 3508382 They are open for brunch on Saturday and Sunday. I'm talking about the bakery in the Village. Wed Mar 19 13:42:51 -0700 2008 3508343 115738 BlueHerons 4 3508394 Ah - thanks - I was thinking about the "original" Blue Ribbon on Sullivan. Link to the bakery restaurant. Wed Mar 19 13:45:13 -0700 2008 3508382 10985 MMRuth 2 3508545 don't think they do reservations, even for a group that size, do they? Wed Mar 19 14:20:15 -0700 2008 3508333 64215 cimui 3 3508611 Yes they take reservations because they asked us if we had one. Wed Mar 19 14:39:00 -0700 2008 3508545 115738 BlueHerons 4 3508666 aha. you're right. the website says reservations are accepted for parties of 5 or more. good to know! Wed Mar 19 14:55:22 -0700 2008 3508611 64215 cimui 1 3508533 omnomnom, i can't think of any reservation-friendly places for a group your size in the w. village other than perhaps Jane (crowded; food is fair, but not in the same league as blue ribbon bakery) and those already mentioned. but if you walk just a little bit further south to SoHo, do try Balthazar. it does a lovely, lovely brunch. Wed Mar 19 14:15:56 -0700 2008 3506146 64215 cimui 2 3508565 on second thought, some other decent (note: none are particularly standout), semi-spacious w. village brunch places: 1. sushi samba (stick to the brazilian offerings like feijoada) 2. agave (southwestern) 3. la palapa rockola mercer kitchen, also in soho, does a good brunch.
