"A post shared by dede lahman (@clintonstbakingco) on Mar 7, 2020 at 6:43am PST. Located at the Time Out Market New York, one of our picks for best things to do in DUMBO, Clinton St. Baking takes brunch to another level, serving their can’t miss breakfast plates all day!. The best part about dining at Time Out is the efficiency and reasonable pricing!"

"These are probably the most famous pancakes in the city, as underscored by the long lines of people vying for a stack on any given Sunday. Here, the wild Maine blueberry pancakes are the big draw: They’re light and fluffy, made with egg whites, and accompanied by warm maple butter. Not much of a berry fan?"

"Clinton Street Baking Company is a Lower East Side institution famous for its pancakes, which have been consistently voted best in the city."

"The cookies from Maman are some of the best cookies in NYC, and they always come perfectly baked. Oozing delicious chocolate and promising a crisp crunch with every bite, these cookies are not to be missed. While the Lemon White Chocolate Cookie and S’mores Cookie are both impressive, it’s the Nutty Chocolate Chip Cookie which was deemed one of Oprah’s Favourite Things in 2017!"

"Maman is a beautifully rustic, yet classic coffee shop in Brooklyn with only one location in the Greenpoint neighborhood. You’ll feel comfort from the moment you step foot in this Brooklyn coffee shop. The smell of the French and American freshly baked goods fills the entire place not to mention the coffee."

"Stuffed with macadamias, almonds, walnuts, French chocolate and sea salt, this cookie has the ideal ratio of crunchy to craggly, oozing bites."

"Al fresco drinking is a revered New York pastime, and at Greenpoint’s seasonal Brooklyn Barge, you’ll find crowds doing just that. Climb aboard the docked vessel—just next to Transmitter Park—and crack open a menu to peruse food options like grilled Mexican-style corn, griddled quesadillas, and vegan chorizo tacos; and house cocktails like Tom Collins is the Bee’s Knees (lavender, honey, lemon, and gin) and A Buck Roams in Harlem (strawberry, lemon, ginger, and corn whiskey). Once you’ve filled up, you can also check to see if the barge is hosting any events."

"When riding the subway, it can be hard to remember New York City was once a maritime heavyweight, with one of the country’s busiest ports. A good reminder is The Brooklyn Barge, a seasonal floating restaurant equipped with industrial-size wire spools converted into tables and direct views of the Williamsburg Bridge. The casual all-day menu offers Grilled Fish Tacos, Mini Veggie Burger Sliders, and Tugboat Fries with pulled pork, cheese and jalapenos."

"Another seasonal experience and thing to do in Brooklyn as this floating cocktail bar and grill on the East River is in the outdoors. Come by in the summer for this outdoor hang out for a meal and a drink or just for some drinks.

"There is no better place in all of NYC to sip absinthe-spiked cocktails while slurping the freshest of shellfish than at Brooklyn’s beloved, New Orleans-style cocktail bar and oyster den, Maison Premiere. After a decade of business and a brief shutter, the iconic bar is back with its marble horseshoe counter and vintage three-piece suit-dressed servers. We recommend reserving a seat in the lush rear garden."

"A Parisian-style restaurant from the folks behind nearby Maison Premiere that spills outside in warmer months. Along with chef Lisa Giffen, they’ve brought with them head bartender Will Elliott, whose unrivaled commitment to cocktailing means he keeps several types of ice and some hundred-plus small-batch liquors on hand. 905 Lorimer St.Brooklyn, NY 11222+1-718-486-6816"

"The Penrose is mostly known as a bar, and they do drinks well, but they also do brunch. While their cocktails might be more fleshed out than the food, it’s absolutely a spot worth mentioning. The ambiance is worth mentioning as they’ve gone out of their way to look like a chic modern bistro, and they’re serving up such favorites as mac and cheese balls, chicken and waffles, zeppole, and roasted potatoes."

"Upper East Siders in search of a well-executed classic cocktail do not search of any place further The Penrose, a refined but genial bar covered in obligatory old-timey decor. But drinkers can also eat a full dinner with affordable, superior renditions of gastropub fare. Fried pickles, fish and chips, and fried chicken sandwich are options."

"The Penrose is known for its innovative cocktails|© Oleg March. There’s seemingly always a wait to get into The Penrose, especially on weekends when brunch is served. This half bar, half restaurant certainly knows a thing or two about cocktails."

"Restaurants American Tribeca. Choosing between Bubby’s sourdough and sour-cream pancakes is like a parent picking which child they love more. The griddle cakes are adapted from an heirloom recipe by famed food writer James Beard: Half the milk in Beard’s recipe is subbed out for delicately tangy Hudson Valley sour cream, yielding tender, golden pancakes with a supremely airy crumb."

"Okay, Bubby’s (for me at least) is an institution when it comes to getting brunch in New York. Whenever we go, we always try and grab a table for one of their brunch or lunches that are so tasty (and massive, too). With two locations in New York, it’s pretty easy to rock up and get a table (though, it’s always busy)."
