The 12 best boozy brunch spots in NYC

Find American classics done exceptionally well at this Astoria outpost, serving “exceptionally well-prepared American comfort food,” where for a $10 surcharge, you can indulge in the “boozy brunch,” your choice of two traditional day-drinking cocktails, including bloody Marys and bellinis.

This Mexican restaurant in the heart of WIlliamsburg ups the ante with an unlimited food and drinks (margaritas! mimosas!) special at $55 for two hours.

Enjoy your tipples with Fonda’s delightfully indulgent takes on Mexican specialties, like the pan Frances, a French toast prepared with bananas and guava, and the torta de carnitas, a pulled-pork sandwich stacked with a black bean spread, picked jalapeños and avocado.
