Can you recommend a decent place for brunch near Times Square/h**l's Kitchen?

Question

I have a relative coming into the city a week from Sunday for brunch and a movie. She’s coming into Port Authority, so I thought we’d have brunch around Times Square--I'm not too familiar with non-touristy restaurants there, if there are any. Any recommendations for a not-too-expensive brunch in the area? (The only brunch I’ve done near Times Square is at Rachel’s Bistro.) I’m looking for a casual place where we can relax with a mimosa and an omelet and not be surrounded by people wearing f***y packs and carrying bags from the M&Ms store.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Eatery, on 9th ave and 53rd st. It's not too far from PA and Times Sq, but far enough that you don't get too touristy a crowd. They have a nice sidewalk cafe and the food is fantastic, but not very expensive.

Answer 2

Vynl on Ninth and 51st - serves a nice brunch - good omelets, french toast, waffles, pancakes, burgers, wraps, etc. - inexpensive.
