Recommendations for a Brunch Spot?

Monkeys - we're looking for a brunch spot that can accommodate ~20-25 people (WSO interns/writers/reps/employees) for a Sunday brunch the day after the conference (July 29th, 11am), any recommendations?

Something near midtown would be preferred

SB's for helpful tips, thanks guys

rufioloveSunburnt Cow... get weird as shit, all you can drink and meals for $15-20

This place is awesome... I don't think it will fit 25 people though

 

The size varies depending on the location (it's a mini-chain), but I'm a fan of the Financier Patisseries. There are a few locations in Midtown.

there's also one on Suffolk & Rivington. The name's different but I think they're from the same group/owner, it's called Bondi Road. Like the Sunburnt Cow, it also serves the endless brunch menu. Bondi Road can def do 25.

Pour some sugar on me.
 

Paradou in MeatPacking, DJ and no time limit ~$25 a person

Harry's Steak House in Financial District ~$20 a person, not sure if they have brunch on Sundays...only bubbly for 2-3 hours, juice is extra

Calle Ocho in Upper West if you want Sangria and Latin food

All are pretty sizable and should be able to accomodate all the people if you book enough in advance

These are the only AYCD I can think off the top of my head. Will post more when I can think of more later

 

Midtown/Hells Kitchen is a terrible district for food in general.

Financier Patisserie is just that, pastries and coffee

-Calle Ocho on 81st between Columbus and Amsterdam -Sarah Beth on Amsterdam between 81st and 82nd -Good Enough to Eat on 84th and Amsterdam -French Roast on 86th and Broadway -Bistro 61 on 61 and 1 -Villa Parci on Gansevoort -5 9th on 9th Downing Food and Wine on Downing and 6th -Cafe Mogador on St. Marks and 8th

I may not be on the Jedi Council, but I sure am great with the Force. See my WSO blog posts
