Sunday Brunch Manhatan

[luisa dos]

I used to be in NY monthly for work and lived there many years ago - but it's been a while - and am rusty on brunch spots - I am meeting some dear friends for Sunday brunch and have been elected to find a nice place to meet - and eat:)

Am open to any suggestions in Manhattan from 14th to 86 St. Of course, food should be delish, and if there were an outdoor space to enjoy the weather (maybe) that would be a bonus

Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

I was unclear if you wanted the East side or West side, but keeping in mind your location requirement:
East:
RiverPark (nice outdoor space)
Park Avenue Summer
Zemi (food is FANTASTIC---very casual though)
David Burke's Fishtail (has a garden), or Townhouse around the corner is excellent as well

West:
Telepan
Lincoln
Asiate
