Looking for something Sunday for brunch- causal, somewhat inexpensive and takes reservations. 5 Points is already fully booked - but looked great. Nolita House looks great - seriously considering it. Any other suggestions? Thanks! Need some quick advice. Thu Feb 19 10:39:07 -0800 2009 133295 serialportme 1 4432545 Nolita House is amazing, but they don't take reservations. And if you really wanted to talk, they have a bluegrass band playing. Acme Bar & Grill takes reservations. Thu Feb 19 10:42:02 -0800 2009 4432534 95761 cidonie 2 4433125 Nolita House is off my list. Had some crummy food there at brunch recently, and once before. A shame cuz I live almost directly upstairs. The waitress on sundays is way cute tho. Could go back for her. Five Points does serve an amazing brunch. Fancy, but the food is great. I've never had a dinner there where the food was as nice as the atmosphere, but their brunch is fantastic. Waits can be long, but it's worth it, and I don't usually have the patience to wait for brunch. Thu Feb 19 13:12:16 -0800 2009 4432545 21954 2slices 1 4432751 I love Nolita House. I think if you get there before the brunch rush, you wouldn't have much of a wait, if any. What time are you planning on dining? www.thelunchbelle.com Thu Feb 19 11:29:32 -0800 2009 4432534 110996 LeahBaila 1 4433078 If you're willing to walk over to Second Ave, Belcourt takes brunch rezzies and it is pretty tasty. I think the chef is a Prune alum. Thu Feb 19 13:01:19 -0800 2009 4432534 28969 D...DF 1 4435486 Thanks all - I would love some more suggestions. Acme looks a little too casual. Nolita House still looks like a winner. How about the Smith? Anything else I should look at? THANKS Fri Feb 20 08:07:19 -0800 2009 4432534 133295 serialportme 2 4435717 The Smith would be East Village, not Noho/Nolita. A bit far of a walk if you ask me. What about Public? Elizabeth? Chinatown Brasserie? God, I miss the Tasting Room. I would have also suggested Lovely Day but I think they haven't fully reopened yet.

We were seated within about 15 minutes of reservation and the place was packed.
