It’s 2010 and not much has changed yet in this new year. The economy is still down and restaurants are still struggling, but everyone still hearts brunch. Despite restaurant traffic being down for the big three meals – breakfast, lunch and dinner – the popularity of brunch has risen by 8% over the last year [...]

Featured guest post from NYCMenuGirl, a new I Heart Brunch contributor. It is Sunday. You wake up and you are looking forward to a great day of doing, well, almost nothing. My ideal Sunday involves sleeping until 10 a.m., lingering in bed and taking a long shower, and then setting out for brunch around 11:30 a.m. [...]

Brunchmaster — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:04:32 +0000

These days, it seems like all-you-can-drink brunch spots are popping up out of nowhere. And today is no exception. Mercadito Cantina, the East Village restaurant featuring some of the best Mexican nouvelle cuisine in the city, has instituted their own all-you-can-drink brunch special. Just a few blocks from The Sunburnt Cow, another wildly popular AYCD brunch [...]

Fresh Squeeze — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 18:04:15 +0000

I have never been a churchgoer, but recently I enrolled in a Sunday School session with Professor Thom. The East Village staple is known more for raucous gatherings of Red Sox Fans in October than a hearty brunch, but that didn’t stop Peter Pancake and me from stopping in for an afternoon meal. As with any [...]

Gourmet Egg and Cheese Sandwiches are on a Roll

Brunchmaster — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 17:39:42 +0000

Egg and Cheese sandwiches are nothing new, from Mickey D’s famed McMuffin to your favorite corner deli or street cart. However, as New York Magazine has just pointed in a mouthwateringly delicious slideshow, this greasy portable treat is the latest to get a gourmet makeover. As I pointed out in my review of Egg in Williamsburg, [...]

Weekday Brunch: The New Brunch Trend

Brunchmaster — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 18:02:43 +0000

After writing the review of Permanent Brunch, the newly opened East Village restaurant dedicated to my favorite weekend pastime, I began to feel very optimistic about the expansion of brunch into the middle of the week. Whether Permanent Brunch was the catalyst for this movement or just the most obvious newcomer to a little known [...]

Two New Spots for All-You-Can-Drink Brunch

Brunchmaster — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 12:26:57 +0000

Last week I hosted a birthday brunch fiesta at Maracas, the lively West Village joint known more for its cheesy, but obnoxiously fun, Mexican party atmosphere than for its $5 unlimited drinks brunch special. While the all-you-can-drink NYC brunch is certainly not new, it has recently been gaining some momentum as restaurants look for new [...]

At I Heart Brunch, we’ve been talking for years about a place that would serve brunch all the time, but had yet to see it happen. So you can imagine our excitement when we heard that Permanent Brunch finally opened to satiate our fix for brunch whenever we desired. Expecting long lines for weekend brunch, we [...]

After months of anticipation, the day has finally come. Today is opening day for Lesley Bernard’s Permanent Brunch and the menu is looking good. In addition to the city’s first artisanal bacon menu, featuring rashers from across the country, the menu highlights a sophisticated take on Southern brunch classics and extends brunch well into dinner [...]
