As every NYC girl knows, finding the best bottomless brunch in NYC isn’t just a challenge, but a way of weekend life. There’s no better way to cap off a weekend than with an endless supply of Bloody Marys or mimosas. Add a great entree and an affordable price tag, and bam: your perfect Sunday.
NYC does a lot of things well and bottomless brunches are one of them. Whether you’re looking to cure a hangover from overindulging at Threesome Tollbooth last night (one of the hottest speakeasies in NYC, in case you haven’t yet heard of it), enjoy a few glasses of champs before checking out the latest exhibit at The Met (or any of NYC’s other top museums), or just catch up with old friends over a few pitchers of margaritas, NYC has you covered.
Here’s where to find the best bottomless brunch in NYC:
5.) Mezetto
Yelp
Located in the Lower East Side, Mezetto is a Mediterranean restaurant that specializes in small dishes (i.e., shared plates). It’s small but cozy, with a mix of regular and high-top tables and massive windows that are open in warmer months. And — if you like the idea of all you can drink mimosas — it’s the best bottomless brunch in NYC for you! Bonus: they serve brunch and bottomless mimosas every day of the week!
Yelp
Menu highlights include The Mezzeto Platter (fried eggs, Israeli salad, quinoa, avocado, labane), grilled cheese with tomato soup and challah french toast for those looking for something a bit sweeter.
Location
Lower East Side: 161 E. Houston St.
Deal
$20 (on top of brunch entree) for bottomless peach, orange, pomegranate, or passion fruit mimosas, or bottomless red or what sangria. Both options are limited to 90 minutes, so drink up!
Brunch Hours
Daily: 10 am – 5 pm
Local Tip
You can have bottomless brunch every day of the week at Mezetto. While most places only serve brunch on the weekends, Mezetto caters to those fortunate to be able to have a boozy brunch on a Wednesday.
4.) Essex
Yelp
Like many “it” spots in NYC, Essex caters to the Chanel-meets-vintage-Levi’s crowd of hip millennials seeking cheap booze and good food. If you’re looking for a trendy, Lower East Side brunch spot to see and be seen (while consuming endless mimosas), then Essex has the best bottomless brunch in NYC for you.

Local Tip
While Essex is great for catering to large parties, it charges more for groups of 8. Keep your group under 8, otherwise, it bumps up the price to $41.95 per person.
Like most places, there isa time limit, so drink up! If you go before 3:00, you have 90 minutes; however, if you choose to dine after 3 pm, you have 120 minutes.
