As the city that never sleeps, the lazy and indulgent ritual of brunch seems to be a very “New York” thing. What else can be expected from a crowd that works hard and plays hard all week?  Enjoying sophisticated scrambled eggs paired with a mimosa after a morning spent lounging in bed is the perfect way to get that last bit of relaxation in before the weekend comes to an end. Here are a few of our favorite places to get the best brunch in New York.
