The Best Ways to Bottomless Brunch in NYC
April 17th, 2025
Looking for a weekend brunch spot in New York City?
There are so many ways to explore and enjoy New York City, and my favorite is the time honored tradition of brunch. Growing up in Rockland County and having lived in the city the last couple years, I've been able to try my fair share of local New York experiences. These are my top spots for brunch in the city, and if these aren't an option, you can browse hundreds of accurate happy hours, brunch places, and food specials in NYC
1. The Half Pint
- Deal: $28 per person | 90 minutes of unlimited brunch cocktails with the purchase of an entree
- Location: 76 W 3rd St, New York, NY 10012
- Timing: Saturdays and Sundays: 11:00 AM – 3:30 PM
- Website: The Half Pint
- Why We Love It: A recognizable spot in Greenwich Village, The Half Pint serves up one of the city's (and perhaps the world's) most classic brunch options: the Old School Irish Breakfast. This hearty plate includes two eggs any style, sausage, bacon, mushrooms, roasted tomato, baked beans, and crispy potato hash, the ideal meal for soaking up your bottomless brunch drinks.
2. The Chelsea Bell
- Deal: $45 includes a brunch menu entree and 90 minutes of drinks
- Location: 316 8th Ave, New York, NY 10001
- Timing: Saturdays and Sundays: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
- Website: The Chelsea Bell
- Why We Love It: The Chelsea Bell restaurant offers a generous bottomless brunch deal with a notable ensemble of entrees to choose from. There's lots of delicious options, but I'm going to highlight 2 of them specifically. #1 is the Dulce De Leche Pancakes, noted for its dulce de leche fluff, sweet milk glaze and fresh fruit. #2 is the Chicken and Waffle Sandwich, served with cheddar cheese, bacon, and dutch syrup along, with a side of beer-battered fried pickle chips. Pair either of these with the bottomless Mimosas, Bellinis, or Bloody Mary's and suddenly $45 seems more like a steal than the sticker price.
3. Event Cruises NYC
- Location: Pier 40 at Hudson River Park
- Timing: Various departure times on Saturdays and Sundays
- Website: Event Cruises NYC
- Why We Love It: My favorite way to spend a day out with friends or family is a brunch cruise in NYC. Bottomless brunch on a boat! If you have ever wanted to do a water tour of the city, why not pair it with food and drinks. Sail along the skyline while enjoying 3-course or buffet style brunches and mimosas. It's a perfect pick for birthdays, holidays, or simply trying something new. Event Cruises offers a number of packages for different kinds of specialty brunch cruises, as well as night and sunset cruises if that's what floats your boat instead.
Brunch in New York City is more than just a meal. It's a morning event and sometimes it's a much needed afternoon recovery. These are just a few of the standouts in Manhattan, but this digital age provides seemingly endless options.
