Balvanera
Website: Balvanera
Neighborhood: Lower East Side
Address: 152 Stanton St, New York, NY 10002
Bottomless brunch hours: Weekends 11am-4:30pm
Balvanera is named after a Buenos Aires neighborhood renowned for its creative spirit. Aptly named, the sun-soaked Argentinian restaurant dishes out inspired brunch fare with South American flair.
Start with savory emapanadas, fresh anchovies swimming in oil and Jamón Ibérico. From there, dive into the tantalizing brunch menu. I recommend the housemade chorizo sandwich with roasted red pepper, papas & pickles — an elevated twist on traditional breakfast sandwiches.
Better still, if you’re on the hunt for the best boozy brunch in NYC, Balvanera offers two hours of unlimited sangria and mimosas for $25 with the purchase of an entree.
Bocca di Bacco
Website: Bocca di Bacco
Bottomless brunch hours: Weekends 12-4pm
Bocca di Bacco is an inviting Italian restaurant with hearty brunch plates ranging from pancakes to spaghetti alla carbonara. Come the weekend, it offers one of the most popular bottomless brunch in New York City, with two hours of bottomless drinks for $26 per person (entree is separate).
Choose from champagne, sangria, Bellinis, mimosas, screwdrivers or Bloody Mary. The bartenders are keen to impress, so the service is pretty reliable at all three locations. Empty glasses get refilled quickly so the disciple to pace yourself is up to you.
Calle Dao
Website: Calle Dao
Bottomless brunch hours: Weekend 11am-4pm
A fusion between Chinese and Cuban cuisines, Calle Dao proves that New York City’s reputation as the melting pot of America is well earned. And what’s more American than a morning cocktail? The restaurant’s boozy brunch menu includes a generous hour of unlimited drinks for $30 per person (the entire table must participate).
Choose from mojitos, margaritas, Cuba libres, sangrias, champagne, wine and beer. In terms of food, tempting options like chorizo & garbanzo hash and ma-po maduros pair perfectly with this boozy New York City brunch deal.
Carroll Place
Website: Caroll Place
Neighborhood: Greenwich Village
Address: 157 Bleecker St, New York, NY
Bottomless brunch hours: Weekends 11am-4pm
Caroll Place earns a spot on our list of the best bottomless brunch in NYC thanks to the 90-minute boozy brunch special that includes an entree and cocktails for $32.
Choose from mimosas, sangrias and Bloody Mary alongside traditional Italian brunch fare like the pancetta & Pecorino omelette or Buon Giorno pizza, made with smoked prosciutto and truffle cream.
Añejo
Website: Añejo
Neighborhoods: Tribeca
Locations: 301 Church Street & 668 10th Avenue
Bottomless brunch hours: Weekends 11:30am-3:30pm
Añejo is known for knock-out margaritas that headlines the restaurant’s weekend brunch deal. For $55, you’ll get an entree and bottomless blanco margaritas, bloody Marias, red sangrias or mimosas for 90 minutes. The best part? Unlimited chips and guacamole too. Simply pick an entree (I’m partial to the huevos rancheros) and libation and let the magic happen.
Seamore’s
Website: Seamore’s
Bottomless brunch hours: Weekends 11am-3pm
Michael Chernow founded Seamore’s to address the city’s need for fresh seafood, an inexcusable offense in his opinion considering the city’s coastal location. At Seamore’s, fish is served within 24-48 hours of being caught so it doesn’t get fresher than this.
The seafood-heavy brunch menu includes baja fish tacos, lobster Benedict and incredible Maine lobster rolls. If you’re dinning with a picky palate, the blueberry pancakes or signature smash burger should fit the bill.
Better still, Seamore’s is a strong contender for the best boozy brunch in New York City, offering 90 minutes of unlimited drinks for $32.
Maya
Website: Maya
Address: 1191 1st Ave., New York, NY
Bottomless brunch hours: Weekends 11am-4pm
At Maya the bottomless brunch isn’t reserved solely for drinks, it applies to food too. Specializing in contemporary Latin cuisine, you can enjoy a never-ending supply of tacos, quesadillas and enchiladas for 90 minutes (or until your body gives out) for $49. If you’d like to add cocktails to the mix, it’s $59 per person.
Essex
Website: Essex
Address: 124 Rivington St, New York, NY
Bottomless brunch hours: Weekends 11am-4:30pm
Essex offers an enticing weekend brunch deal at $45, which includes 90 minutes of bottomless drinks (mimosas, bloody marys, screwdrivers) and one entree (there’s a large range of options), everyone at the table needs to participate.
The menu includes classic brunch items like omelets, eggs Benedict and avocado toast, as well as unique options like chilaquiles and arepas, along with a couple of vegan dishes. Despite the lively atmosphere, the staff remains remarkably attentive and friendly.
Lil’ Frankie’s
Website: Lil’ Frankie’s
Address: 19 1st Ave, New York, NY 10003
Bottomless brunch hours: Weekends 11am-3:30pm
Ever wished for a leisurely boozy brunch without the pressure of downing endless mimosas? You’re not alone, and that’s precisely why Lil Frankie’s makes an appearance on my list of the best bottomless brunch in NYC.
This cash-only establishment runs a generous “3-4-1 special” during brunch, giving you the option to enjoy three cocktails (mimosa, bloody mark, screwdriver, bellini or prosecco) for the price of one for $19. Drinks aside, the well-curated food menu is nothing to scoff at.
I’m partial to the applewood smoked BLT breakfast sandwich, but the spinach and goat cheese omelette has been known to make an appearance on my plate from time to time.
Kyma
Website: Kyma
Address: 15 W 18th Street & 445 W 35th Street
Bottomless brunch hours: Weekends 11:30am-3:30pm
Kyma is a posh Mediterranean restaurant dishing out some of the best Greek food in NYC. It’s one of the fanciest NYC bottomless brunch options on the list, making it great for celebrations. For $40 per person, you’ll get 90 minutes of unlimited bellinis, mimosas, bloody marys, or housemade sangria.
Osteria Cotta

Address: 513 Columbus Ave, New York, NY 10024

Osteria Cotta is a charming Italian restaurant on the Upper West Side (my stomping grounds). I’m a big fan of the cozy courtyard and rustic decor. With an emphasis on traditional Italian cuisine, the food is consistently delicious and surprisingly affordable (this is NYC, after all). Better still, Cotta serves one of the best bottomless brunches in New York City. For $28 you’ll get 90 minutes of unlimited mimosas and white sangrias with the purchase of an entree.
