What used to be an unassuming, quiet area is now filled with vibrant energy and hungry people. Make Downtown Brooklyn your newest culinary destination with these top local brunch spots.
Best known for their colossal slices of incredible cheesecake, Junior’s Restaurant is the place to go when you want dessert for breakfast. Each breakfast dish comes with a choice of beverage, and depending on what you get, it also comes with eggs, a slice of tomato, home fries, and grits. Whether you build your own brunch or pick from the chef’s specialities section, Junior’s is sure to satisfy your cravings.
An oyster bar isn’t the usual go-to spot for brunch, but Grand Army is likely to change that. From oysters to crab legs, shrimp cocktail, or a seafood mix, Grand Army meets all of your needs. Not in the mood for seafood? Try the dandelion greens, summer squash toast, or a charcuterie board.
