Where Do Celebs Brunch? A NYC Guide
So, you wanna know where the stars are sipping their mimosas and devouring pancakes, huh? Well, buckle up, buttercup, because we're about to dive into the juicy world of celebrity brunch spots in the Big Apple.
The Brunch Royalty
Let's be real, not everyone can afford to brunch like a Kardashian, but hey, dreaming is free! Here are some spots where you might just spot a famous face slurping down avocado toast:
- Balthazar: This SoHo staple is like the United Nations of celebrities. You might find yourself sharing a table (or at least a bathroom line) with a supermodel, an actor, or even a politician. Just don't drool over your eggs Benedict too loudly.
- The Polo Bar: Owned by the man, the myth, the legend, Ralph Lauren, this place is as preppy as a Nantucket summer. Expect to see a sea of pink polos and perfectly coiffed hair. Bonus points if you can snag a table outside for some prime people-watching.
- Buvette: This charming French bistro is a celeb favorite for its cozy atmosphere and delicious food. It's like Paris, but with a New York accent. Just be prepared to wait in line, even if you're not a star.
The Brunch Underdogs
Okay, so you might not spot Brad Pitt chowing down on a waffle here, but these spots are still worth checking out for their amazing food and cool vibes:
- Jack's Wife Freda: This trendy spot serves up Israeli-inspired brunch dishes that will make your taste buds do a happy dance. It's a great place to people-watch and soak up the laid-back atmosphere.
- The Smith: With multiple locations throughout the city, The Smith is a reliable choice for a delicious and satisfying brunch. It's a good option if you're with a group of people with different tastes.
