Bubby’s
- Price band: 2/4
- Critics choice
The name means “grandma” in Yiddish, but to celebs, punksters and stroller-pushers who wait all morning for a table, it means brunch. The sun-blasted restaurant, originally a pie kitchen, has morphed into an all-day gourmet picnic; at the front, insulated from the pram parking lot, is the bar. The fluorescent dessert cases and gaudy floral wallpaper will fade after one of the signature “loco” cocktails (the Slow Comfortable Screw blends Southern Comfort, champagne and OJ). Top

Kitchenette
- Price band: 2/4
Packs of parents and kids head to this home-cooking haven on Sunday mornings to enjoy one of the top brunches in the city. Kitchenette's no slouch at night, either: Little ones can try honey-fried chicken or BBQ salmon.

Petite Abeille
- Price band: 1/4

Locals keep coming back for fresh mussels and the three-course prix fixe, offered weekdays from 5 to 6:30pm. Try the vol-au-vent, a chicken stew covered with a puff-pastry lid, or the croque-monsieur, made with ham and Gruyère. At brunch, golden waffles topped with strawberries are authentic, serious

Tribeca Grill
- Price band: 4/4
- Critics choice
This neighborhood veteran, set in a converted warehouse, achieves coziness on a grand scale—an antique wooden bar anchors the huge room, and paintings of Robert De Niro Sr. (the famous Jr. is one of the owners, along with restaurateur Drew Nieporent) hang on the brick walls. The food is classic and competent, if not groundbreaking: Seared sea scallops bear a caramelized crust, and king salmon is served with a pristine salad of Asian pear, fennel and celery root. Flag down one of
