The Best Brunch Spots In The Meatpacking District New York

Every New Yorker impatiently awaits the weekend, when they can round up a few friends and head to brunch. Whether you’re new to the brunch scene or you’re looking to shake up your usual routine, be sure to check out these ten brunch spots in New York City’s ultra-trendy Meatpacking District.

Cookshop

Cookshop has a great selection of brunch items and will make your final choice a difficult one. Start off with beignets for the table, made with fresh ricotta cheese and roasted pear compote. For your main dish, try the huevos rancheros, or opt for the baked French toast. Their alcohol menu is separate, and brunch cocktails range from $12 to $14.

The Standard Grill

Bubby’s High Line

Bubby’s High Line is a pretty popular brunch spot, so we suggest making reservations. The natural light that pours through the windows, brightening their white walls and blue ceiling, creates a comfortable, homey feel. Their fried chicken and biscuits is a crowd favorite – the skin is crispy and the chicken is juicy. No matter what you decide to eat, make sure you save room for Bubby’s homemade pie, which changes daily, so ask your waiter for the flavor of the day.

Revel

Revel is a beautiful restaurant sporting a year-round garden with a retractable roof, which offers diners an al fresco experience regardless of the weather. The surrounding exposed brick gives the space a rustic feel, reminiscent of an Italian getaway. Try the classic challah French toast or the Meatpacking omelet, complete with bacon, ham, sausage, and Swiss cheese. For $45, make your brunch bottomless with mimosas, bellinis, or Clerico.

Fig & Olive

Fig & Olive is the perfect place for a relaxed brunch. Their wine collection adorns the walls from floor to ceiling, and trees surrounding the front of the restaurant give it a fresh, natural feel. Their brioche French toast with fig and cinnamon jam is a crowd favorite, as is their rosemary-chicken panini. Since no brunch is complete without a cocktail, we suggest the blood orange mimosa, or the cucumber cosmopolitan.

Hector’s Café and Diner

Located beneath the High Line, Hector’s Café and Diner brings old-school flare to this contemporary neighborhood. While Hector’s isn’t a brunch spot, they do offer breakfast all day long, and it serves as a popular spot for locals. Try any one of their omelets, or opt for a nicely-charred burger.
