Union Market’s main full-service restaurant puts out a shortlist of weekend-only brunch items, including cornflake-crusted French toast, housemade granola with yogurt, and steak and eggs with Bearnaise sauce. There’s an optional $25 bottomless mimosa pairing.Cocktail pro Gina Chersevani’s retro bagel-and-soda bar is always hopping on weekend mornings, and also does a huge takeout business.
Restaurateur Stephen Starr—also behind nearby Pastis, St. Anselm, and Bread Alley—continues his Union Market takeover with this flashy Mexican destination. At its weekend brunch, go for chorizo-and-cheese tlayudas, huitlacoche-stuffed quesadillas, and caramelized-pineapple mimosas. At Stephen Starr and Keith McNally’s buzzy bistro—which started in the Meatpacking District—you can go all out with seafood towers and Champagne or stick to humbler plates, like a crepe filled with Comte and ham, or smoked-salmon Benedict. Too early for a dirty martini ? Opt for the refreshing, not-too-boozy Eiffel Sour instead.
