Brunch In New York City: What This Guide Covers
For a weekend drinks package, compare the meal price and the package terms together. At The Flying Cock, the drinks add-on requires an entree and physical identification; it is a different purchase from a coffee-and-eggs breakfast.
For a more focused local search, follow the borough and neighborhood guides below. The Williamsburg Hole In The Wall profile identifies the Brooklyn branch and its menu separately from the group’s Manhattan restaurants.
