Brunch In And Near Central Park

A Central Park brunch can be a restaurant meal at West 67th Street, Sunday dining by the Lake, or an early table outside the south edge. Tavern On The Green and Central Park Boathouse are inside the park; Sarabeth’s Central Park South is outside it. The Boathouse’s restaurant brunch is Sunday only, so a Saturday visit requires a different menu or venue. Choose the meal and park entrance together.

Tavern On The Green is at West 67th Street and Central Park West; the Boathouse is near East 72nd Street and Park Drive North by the Lake; Sarabeth’s is at 40 Central Park South. Use the precise entrance and current directions, not an assumed straight-line walk through the park.

Sunday Restaurant Brunch By The Lake

Choose the Boathouse restaurant for Sunday brunch by the Lake from 11 AM to 3 PM. Saturday restaurant service is lunch, and cafe, dockside and rowing arrangements are separate; reserve the restaurant service rather than treating every Boathouse offering as brunch.

Central Park Boathouse — Formerly Loeb Boathouse

The Central Park Boathouse restaurant, formerly known as the Loeb Boathouse, has a Sunday brunch menu by the Lake. Benedicts, baked pancakes and a brunch burger distinguish the table-service meal from the separate cafe and dockside options. Its official restaurant schedule lists lunch on Saturdays, so Saturday visitors should not expect the Sunday brunch menu.
