Central Park Boathouse

The Best Brunch On The Upper East Side - New York - The Infatuation

"Contrary to everything we said at the beginning of this guide, the eggs at Central Park Boathouse are pretty mediocre. On a good day, the benedict is totally solid. On a bad day, the hollandaise tastes like it's been sitting under a hot light for just a few minutes too long. Even still, dining here means eating in a picturesque glass box with a view of the lake, and no other spot on this list can give you that. Bring some out-of-towners who prioritize tourist attractions over anything else, and follow up brunch with a stroll through the park." - will hartman, sonal shah, willa moore
