Brunch In Midtown East
This Midtown East guide compares two Second Avenue restaurants near East 51st Street with Little Collins on Third Avenue. The Smith offers a dedicated weekend brunch, The Horny Ram has a separately priced timed drinks option, and Little Collins provides a coffee-led daytime meal. Use the exact branch menu and arrival format rather than treating every Midtown restaurant as a rooftop, a package brunch or an all-day breakfast venue.

The Smith and The Horny Ram sit on Second Avenue, while Little Collins is a different Third Avenue destination. Use the exact branch address and current transit directions; a Midtown label does not guarantee identical travel, parking or accessibility.
Match The Food Window And Format
Compare a restaurant brunch, a pub meal with an optional timed package and a coffee-led visit. Read the source-dated menus and charge notes, confirm the latest food order and party arrangements, and do not infer available tables from the presence of a booking link.

Friday Or Weekend Brunch With A 90-Minute Package
Choose The Horny Ram at 951 Second Avenue for pub brunch with a separately priced ninety-minute drinks option. Compare the food requirement, group charge notes and service window; the drinks price is not the total cost of brunch.

The Horny Ram
The Horny Ram’s Second Avenue pub brunch starts on Friday, unlike many weekend-only options. Its published menu separates priced food from a 90-minute drinks add-on. Pancakes, huevos rancheros and Benedict suit different food preferences, while groups need to check the possible gratuity. A package is a timed dining offer, not a guarantee of a DJ, show or unlimited service after the cutoff.

The 90-minute drinks package costs $28 in addition to an individual brunch food item; sides and desserts do not qualify. The $16 item plus package is $44 before tax, gratuity and extras. The menu says 20% gratuity may be added for groups of six or more.
- Service
- The current official menu lists brunch Friday noon to 4 PM and Saturday and Sunday 11 AM to 4 PM. Its 90-minute package does not extend those service windows; ask about the last participating seating.
