From the Blue Corn Buttermilk Waffle to the Spicy Chicken with Sweet Potato Hash, your taste buds will be transported to an entirely new world. Located between Flatiron and Union Square, Mesa Grill is its central location promises plenty to see after a satisfying meal.

3. Buttermilk Channel

For those of you tired of Manhattan, head over the East River to Brooklyn where the critically acclaimed Buttermilk Channel resides. Tucked in a quiet neighborhood in Carroll Gardens, though you might not be able to get their famous buttermilk fried chicken at brunch, there are still plenty of treats for the afternoon hunger pangs. The attentive service and bourbon pecan pie French toast will certainly make for a bright start to the weekend. And if there is any truth to curing a hangover with another drink, then Buttermilk Channel has a tantalizing selection of Bloody Mary’s to tide you over.

2. Pastis

Fashioned after a Parisian brasserie, Pastis is Keith McNally’s second attempt after the immensely popular Balthazar in SoHo. The café is found on the edges of the Meatpacking district where throngs of partygoers reveled just hours before. Serving up some of the city’s best Brioche French Toast, you would also be hasty not to give their Eggs a la Basquaise a try. McNally was also kind enough to include Balthazar’s famous bread bowls to the menu. Supremely furnished and decorated, Pastis flies you across the Atlantic to a quaint Parisian café for the quick weekend getaway.

1. Clinton Street Baking Company

With what has to be the best pancakes in town, Clinton Street Bakery is hands down one of the must-try brunch spots in town. Tucked just below Houston Street in the Lower East Side, be ready for a decent wait for the absolutely delightful pancakes drizzled with generous portions of maple butter. Opened since 2001, their famous blueberry pancakes have been rated as the city’s best by New York Magazine, and if the wait is too long for brunch, you could always head there at dinner time, when pancakes will still be served.

We highly encourage you to go check these places out. At Manhattist, we believe in fine living as a treat for the heart and soul. These fabulous brunch spots will give you more than just a hearty meal.
