Chelsea Market Brunch

[sarahbeek]

Any suggestions for a brunch at Chelsea market with a young toddler?

Try Bill's Bar and Burger - it's close by and very kid friendly.

Pastis is close by and their brunch is pretty tasty as well.

closed seasonally, and not yet back: http://peoplespops.com/where_we_are.html (and not sure i'd want popsicles for brunch, though they make a great snack!)

Across the street, the Colicchio & Sons Tap Room serves a great brunch, reasonably priced.

I have a hard time imagining a toddler in that place (though admittedly have only been there at night)...if you're willing to go nearby rather than in the market proper, The Park, while not the greatest food ever, is actually an excellent toddler joint - a lot of space and a lot to look at. I also love Sarabeth's, and the tables are usually pretty empty (I suspect many people don't know this location serves real food and not just baked goods). Although the food's ok and it's kid-friendly, the service at Friedman's is really abysmal so I'd steer clear of that joint, personally. 202 suffers from the same problem. (If pressed, I'd choose Friedman's bwtn those two.)

In the market itself, I'd also suggest Sarabeth's. It's quick enough for toddlers' attention spans, and they serve food on disposable plates (which I didn't love) so you could potentially sit in the halls of the market itself if your child wanted to roam a little more

202 has closed IIRC.

What about Ronnybrook Milk Bar? Seems kid-friendly to me.

i love their yogurt, but haven't liked their food at all. though the dairy products are perfect for toddlers on the go (especially for dairy fiends like mine) the space is not very parent-of-toddler friendly, with all those crates and things for children to touch and mess up along the walls. i always dash in and out (or stock up at farmer's markets, where the yogurt drinks are much cheaper).

I ate at Ronnybrook with my daughter recently. We both liked the food. But we thought the stools were uncomfortable.

Very different crowd at C&S for brunch. Times I've been, there have been lots of families.

As to 202: yep, closed. Too bad - they were my first thought, pretty good place.

Very good to know re C&S, thanks! And I'm amazed I didn't notice 202 closed since I am in the Market almost daily. Have always liked the food there (esp the unsung dinner), but man was the waitstaff incompetent. Re Ronnybrook, btw, I've only tried twice but found it super overpriced for what you get and not very comfortable, as noted above.
