Alright, ladies. The time has finally come for your ultimate NYC brunch guide! This post has been a long time in the making, and has required a lot of blood, sweat, and tears (aka eating and drinking) in order to find the best Lifestyles by Lauren-approved brunch spots in the city.
I’ve done tons of IG stories and several “mini blogs” rounding up brunch spots, but now all of our favorites are in one place! The brunch guide is sorted out by neighborhood and includes areas that I frequent the most. Also, if you’re looking for brunch outfits, check out my favorite pieces HERE. xx
