There’s no need to stray from the tried and true brunch menu of Recipe: every item is a winner especially on Easter. Touting rustic simplicity, Recipe is a delectable Upper West Side staple with homemade items such as locally roasted beets, seasonal jams with brioche and country bread toast and an organic poached egg salad. For those with a heartier appetite, tickle the tastebuds with their vanilla brioche french toast or their famed Hudson Valley Foie Gras Terrine with a black mission figs and apricot puree. Depending on the weather, choose from their refreshing Pear Sparklette or warm Big Apple Hot Mulled Cider.
31 Great Jones (between Lafayette and Bowery)
Reservations: 212-253-5700 fivepointsrestaurant.com
Pricing: a la carte, $15-18 a person
Hot chocolate and churros? What better throwback to nostalgic amusement park days and sugary comfort food than this famous item from Five Points? Join this American-Mediterranean brunch spot for a special Easter treat as they serve up standard favorites such as lemon-ricotta pancakes drizzled with maple syrup and the fried chicken sandwich dressed with dijon mustard and bitter greens. Their simple menu needs no justification–they even published a cookbook on the art of brunching. So make sure to reserve a spot to get in this Easter Sunday.
Enjoy Your Weekend!
