"Thyme & Tonic is the top gluten-free brunch option on the Upper West Side. The menu is entirely gluten-free and mostly vegan, with options like a tofu reuben and a giant latke that comes with your choice of lox or plant-based salmon. They also have an extensive bar with great cocktails, and there's a lively scene both inside the dining room—where you’ll find a bunch of white wooden booths— and outside on the flower-powered patio. If you don’t need to have a productive day, get a carafe of margaritas or try the DIY mimosa situation that comes with a full bottle of Prosecco." - bryan kim
