2 West Village Eateries Named Among Best Brunch Spots In NYC

WEST VILLAGE, NY — New York City has countless top-notch brunch spots for mimosas, eggs benedict, bacon, fruit, and any other tasty dish you might want in between breakfast and lunch. In a prideful moment for the West Village, two neighborhood eateries just got included in a list from Eater NY of the 29 best brunch spots in the city.

The local food news and ranking website recently published an article called, "29 Brunch Spots That Make Getting Out of Bed Worthwhile."

Here are the two West Village eateries that made the list:

Joseph Leonard: 170 Wavery Place

The casual neighborhood spot opened in 2009 by restauranteur Gabriel Stulman and chef James McDuffee serves seasonal American food out of its location in the West Village. Here's what editors from Eater NY had to say about its brunch:

"Gabe Stulman's 12-year-old West Village cafe is a cozy space run by friendly people, and the coffee here is very good. The tiny kitchen cranks out French-American comfort food dishes during brunch, including a fried chicken sandwich, avocado toast, and a baguette French toast."

Berimbau Brazilian Kitchen: 43 Carmine Street

The Brazillian eatery features an open kitchen and offers a modern take on traditional cuisine dishes with a selection of Picanha, Moqueca Baiana, and Feijoada. Here's what editors from Eater NY had to say about its brunch:

"Berimbau was undergoing a complete renovation just as the pandemic hit, but it reopened later last year with an extensive outdoor seating area. There the Brazilian classics are rendered in brunch-like fashion, including a very solid rendition of feijoada, the national dish, the delightful cheese balls called pão de queijo, perfect for brunch, and strogonoff in three permutations."
