Dos Caminos in Midtown serves upscale Mexican cuisine, so you can start your day the spicy way.You’ll love their made-to-order guacamole and and drinks like the prickly pear margarita, which are free with brunch! From chorizo con huevos to organic salmon ceviche, there’s so many options for those folks up for trying something new and exciting.
For traditional American, visit Ninth Street Market for their delightful home-style meals! You can choose fresh fruit, cinnamon vanilla, or raisin challah bread varieties of French toast and soak up the morning sun in the quaint atmosphere.

Freemans, one of NYC’s hidden gems, serves the best in Sunday brunch. Reminiscent of a hunting lodge, Freemans has a unique, yet homey atmosphere. Try the stewed plums with Greek yogurt and vanilla syrup or lamb sausage with poached eggs, slices of sourdough toast and a watercress salad. This is a perfect spot to impress your friends.
With fried oyster omelettes, Dutch pancakes, and perfectly classic eggs Benedict, Prune is yet another superb place for brunch. Nestled within the busy streets, this tiny place requires a bit of a wait, but is certainly worth it.

After brunch, consider spending a few hours at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, and then hop on the NYC TV and Movie Sites Tour to round off your day!
