What is the best place for brunch in the East Village? If you have to ask where that is.please don't answer

Answer 1

Cafe Orlin on St. Marks has a terrific brunch and outdoor seating-- they seat quickly and are pretty affordable.  Cafe Brama on 2nd Ave is also delicious-- they're known for their french toast.  Prune on 1st Ave is one of my favorites-- they have both creative traditional breakfast items like pear pancake and more adventurous items such as grilled lamb sausage with oysters on the 1/2 shell.  

Enjoy!

Answer 2

Essex house!!!!! With out a doubt!  Its probably a little more LES than East Village but whats a few blocks for really good food and unlimited drinks(its on Essex and Rivington)! technically they advertise it as 2 free drinks but trust me they dont keep count and on several occasions my waitress/waiter just dropped off a pitcher on our table to help ourselves!

Answer 3

I actually didn't really like Yaffa Cafe, but I think it was because we went really early and they had just opened up. But, down the street from Yaffa (heading more east) there's a Cafe Mogador. It's a bit more expensive than Yaffa, but you'll find that it's extremely crowded on the weekends because the food is great.

here's a website with some info on restaurants in the area and it compares yaffa and mogador

I Coppi on Ninth Street and Avenue A serves a great brunch for about $20 - you get a cocktail, coffee, an appetizer and an entree - they make some of the best spaghetti carbonara - there are lots of other choices (brunch is a bargain - at dinner almost all the entrees are more than $20).  There's a nice garden in the back.

Answer 5

In this weather especially, try Yaffa Cafe, very cute outdoor garden and the price can't be beat! Plus it's just an experience, service can be sketchy, but i highly recommend.
