    Have you gone yet? Where did you end up, and how was it?

      Macondo is awesome at brunch and has big tables for large parties. No reservations necessary.

        Brunch for a group:

        Pastis - Meatpacking, communal table
        Freemans - LES, they have a private room, you can only make reservations if you are a large party
        Jane - private room downstairs, just north of Soho, east of the WV
        Morandi - also quite large, and a nice space, WV
        'inoteca - downstairs room in LES location, not sure about Gramercy location where they'd put people
        Blue Ribbon Bakery- WV, they do large parties all the time they can seat bigger groups downstairs
        Cookshop - they have booths and tables that can seat 6, not sure how they'd do 10 people, Chelsea
        Stanton Social - have an upstairs bar/lounge area that can be used, too, also on the pricey side, and it's all small plates, but fun, and a little more upscale than other options, LES
        Markt - Chelsea, just north of the Meatpacking District
        The Smith - East Village, same people who run Jane
        Tia Pol - they have a back room and now take reservations for parties of all sizes
        Boqueria - they only take reservations for large groups, the Soho location has these two nice U shaped booths that would work well for a party of 10 I think
        Public - Nolita, they have a curtained off area that could work
        Momofuku Ssam Bar - not really traditional brunch but you can reserve for a bo ssam lunch, it's much easier to get in for the bo ssam lunch than the bo ssam dinner on short notice
        Otto - again, not traditional brunchy foods BUT they have a package deal for unlimited wine + prix fixe IIRC
        Chinatown Brasserie - Noho, dim sum, may be too pricey / they may charge an extra fee for a party of 10
        Locanda Verde - Tribeca, very positive reports so far, they just started brunch service, I'd call and ask if they reservations for a party that large
        DBGB - EV, they started brunch service several weeks ago, I'd call and ask if they reservations for a party that large

          'inoteca Gramercy - No private sapce, but the interior is large, so no problem accommodating a group of ten. Not sure if they accept reservations for brunch.
