A great brunch has a certain
je ne sais quoi that separates it from other meals of the day. Like Michelangelo and Caravaggio but with runny yolks, chefs across the country are cooking up masterpieces during this brunch renaissance and Jeremy Jacobowitz from
Brunch Boys is devouring and documenting the best of them.
“I’ve always loved brunch. The original idea was just to make some fun brunch videos between my gigs producing food tv shows, but for over two and half years now its been my full time job.” He told Citizine.
Jacobowitz has the perfect brunch line-up for every occasion. His ideal brunch situation includes the Plan B-Rito from Flip Sigi full of eggs, spam, longanisa, bacon, hashbrowns, avocado, cheese and salsa for when you need something to counteract the amount of tequila in your body or the thick cut bacon with jalapeno jelly and peanut butter at Quality Eats for when the family is in town and it’s time to convince them that you’re thriving in New York.
According to Jeremy, these are the brunch spots that are going to make your friends hop on the earliest flight to NYC after seeing them on your Instagram.
Nur
Flatiron

JJ: Two of the ultimate brunch dishes come from this seafood focused restaurant; their Savory Everything Bagel Donuts, and their BEC Poutine Fries!
Egghead
Midtown West
