Girl's Brunch in Manhattan

[jdogg80]

Hi,

I'm looking for some cute brunch places for a group of 7 or 8 gals on a Sunday around noon. We want a cute atmo, good food, nothing too crazy pricey, and a drink included wouldn't hurt either (or unlimited drinks for a fixed price). Any ideas? Being able to make a reservation is preferable. thx!

Stanton Social is a lot of fun. They can easily accommodate a large party.

Try out Calle Ocho on Columbus between 81st & 82nd St.
They accept reservations and have an all-you-can-drink buffet of about 8 different types of sangria (complimentary with brunch).

i second Elmo or Cafeteria. Dos Caminos is also a good choice. The food is not chowhound level but it's got great drinks and atmosphere.

had a nice girls brunch (maybe 15 of us?) at Elmo - 156 7th Ave. did not have to wait for a table (though we arrived early!) and food was good, the atmosphere was fun. :)

Try Nero Grill in Meatpacking (Gansevoort St) There is a pre-fix brunch for $20 which includes great drinks (Unlimited Champagne, Bellini, Mimosa Bloody Mary or Screw Driver) The atmosphere is fun and its a great area! Food is good too.

Steak & Frites gives you a free mimosa and they do quite a nice little brunch.

i would second prune but you do have to wait a while as they dont take reservations, bloody marys to die for though otherwise aqauvit has an all you can eat smorgasboard with a drink included...

Prune couldn't possibly seat 7 or 8 gals without a fuss or a huge wait.

A group that size is going to be considered a large party and many of the popular brunch places will either a) quote an absurdly long wait or b) not be able to accommodate you due to size of the restaurant.

I suggest you look here for reservations / brunch / large group recommendations:

Blue Ribbon Bakery or Morandi

Prune (no rezzies), Five Points (OpenTable), Marseilles (OpenTable), Clinton Street Baking Company (not sure if rezzies taken)

[kathryn]

Clinton Street Baking Co. doesn't take reservations and probably won't be able to seat a party of 7-8 during the brunch rush (which for them is from 10am-4pm).

In that case, scratch CSB Co.

I love http://www.paradounyc.com - my friends and I go (they have unlimited champagne cocktails, I think the pineapple one is amazing.
