"Chez Nick on the Upper East Side with easy reservations and a few big tables is a reliable brunch option for bigger groups—especially if you want to get boozy. Their $12 bloody mary has enough horseradish to unclog your nose, and everything on the fairly standard brunch menu is really well made. Make sure their big, fluffy pancake with crunchy edges is on your table, and get either the breakfast burrito with mushroom al pastor, or chilaquiles loaded with barbacoa." - bryan kim, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, sonal shah
