Sunday Brunch Suggestions in New York
Any ideas? Meeting some friends the Sunday after Thanksgiving. I'm a Mon to Fri city person, so Sunday Brunch is not something I have a clue about. Probably midtown area.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

Cordelli... one of your favorite restaurants in NYC. West Bank Cafe, also offers a Sunday brunch from 11:30a-3p. I have not had it but a few friends who've dined for brunch says it's creative and very good.
There is another place that is NOT in Midtown but it's an easy train ride on the #1 to the Village.
Sazarac House: http://www.sazerachouse.com/
Sazarac hosted the brunches for Catman DO TWO and Trois.
It's very good
If you are looking for Tea: Tea and Sympathy. Great food there as well.

One of the best brunches in the city. Several of my friends who have brunched everywhere consider it to be the best. I highly recommend.

It has been awhile since I have had Sunday Brunch in the Big Apple. However, I believe that there was a Sunday Brunch at Cafe Botanica in the Essex House Hotel in Central Park South; the Halcyon in the Rihga Royal also used to have a fairly lavish Sunday brunch.
It is a shame that the Peacock Alley in the Waldorf=Astoria no longer serves Sunday brunch............

I've heard raves about Norma's on W. 57th St. It's in one of the large hotels, but I don't remember which one. Balthazar is also good but go early... and it's quite a noisy place. There's always Dim Sum in Chinatown... Golden Unicorn etc. etc. If you're on the UES, both the Mark Hotel and Sarbeth's Kitchen at E. 92nd and Madison are fine.

I'm a midtown girl so I'll share with you places I enjoy. As already said by ljp99, Metropolitan Cafe is great. I also like Brasserie (yup, the very same one on 53rd b/w Park & Lex). I was at Brasserie last Sunday and it was just marvelous. I also enjoy Randolph's at the Warwick.
What I like about all three besides the good food is that you are not rushed at all. You can enjoy a nice long leisurely brunch and in all three, the service is quite good.

The Best Brunch EVER!
While it's not in Mid-Town, I promise you the best brunch you'll ever have is at Pastis on 9th Ave and the corner of Little West 12th St.
Prices are more than reasonable; the food is great; and sometimes you can even do some star-watching. The last time I was there, I ran into Julianne Moore who was on her way out. Nice woman...

My hands down favorite place to eat is Good at 89 Greenwich Avenue. I lived in NYC for a number of years in the Village and this was my mainstay.
