SEXY BRUNCH: KITTICHAI
60 THOMPSON HOTEL

The sexy-romantic atmosphere here is the ultimate downtown scene. The dining room is impeccably decorated with a glistening pool with floating candles as the centerpiece with acccents of luminous bottled orchids. This is Asian-inspired tranquillity at its best.

The professional, efficient and friendly waiters will take excellent care of you. Cocktails are just amazingand it’s no surprise that the food is delicious as well. You’ll want to make repeat visits so that you can try everything on the menu.



LUXURY BRUNCH: JEAN-GEORGES
PERRY ST.

The fumed oak tables, amuse-l’oeil patterned carpeting, comforting white leather banquettes, graciously cantilevered lamps and black resin bar with matching leather stools are artfully poised within the U-shaped space, all custom-conceived by Thomas Juul-Hansen, an erstwhile associate of the Pritzger Prize-winning architect Richard Meier, who designed the glass tower above the restaurant. A sheer mesh over the floor-to-ceiling windows softens incoming sunlight without in the least impeding views of the shimmering Hudson River.


CHAMPAGNE BRUNCH: PARADOU

Not to be outdone by neighboring Nero d’Avola, Paradou has more recently introduced its own version of a boozy brunch free-for-all: A $29 unlimited Champagne cocktail brunch, which includes your choice of one entrée.
