New York City / Neighborhood Brunch

Best Brunch In Lower East Side

The Lower East Side selection compares three distinct breakfasts: Clinton St. Baking Company’s pancakes, Russ & Daughters Cafe’s smoked fish and Jewish appetizing menu, and Dudley’s Australian-inspired egg sandwiches and hotcakes. The booking differences are just as important as the food. Choose the Clinton Street or Orchard Street branch, then plan around walk-ins, reservation lead time and last seating.

Distinguish The Cafe From The Retail Shop

Russ & Daughters Cafe is the sit-down Orchard Street restaurant, not the retail shop. Clinton St.’s Dumbo outpost is also a different venue. Use the exact profile and address links before arranging the group’s arrival.

Compare The Complete Visit

Read the named dishes and included sides before comparing prices. A weekend brunch, daily cafe breakfast and online pickup service can have different hours. Use the direct menu and visit sources to confirm your day, final food order, complete-party seating and any charges.
