"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
"Thyme & Tonic is an entirely gluten-free and mostly vegan restaurant with one of the best bottomless brunch deals on the Upper West Side and a lively scene. They also have a flower-powered outdoor dining area adorned with hanging floral garlands and palms, where you can order pink peppercorn palomas to match the pink dining structure. If you do get the bottomless booze deal, you get an entree (we’re partial to the coconut pancakes and spicy red shakshuka) and a GF pastry from Modern Bread & Bagel next door." - nikko duren, kenny yang, neha talreja
"Being the gluten-free one in your dinner group can sometimes feel like you’re asking to eat off a kids menu that doesn’t come with crayons or any other type of fun. At Thyme & Tonic, you can take an entire GF crew to a very adult restaurant just for them. The menu is gluten-free and mostly-vegan, with everything from kung pao cauliflower rice bowls to a Sunday brunch provided with assistance from the GF bakery next-door, Modern Bread and Bagel. They also have an extensive bar with great cocktails, and there's a lively scene both inside and out on their flower-powered outdoor dining area." - neha talreja, bryan kim, hannah albertine

"Being the gluten-free one in your dinner group can sometimes feel like you’re asking to eat off a kids menu that doesn’t come with crayons or any other types of fun. At Thyme & Tonic, you can take an entire GF crew to an adult restaurant just for them, or at least make your gluten-tolerant friends feel like they’re the picky eaters. The menu is GF and mostly-vegan, with everything from kung pao cauliflower rice bowls to a daily brunch provided with assistance from the GF bakery next-door, Modern Bread and Bagel. They also have an extensive bar with great cocktails, and there's a lively scene both inside and out on their flower-powered outdoor dining area. We like to go full-veg and order the Old School Burger, a slightly sweet beet and black bean burger with non-dairy cheese on top, but they also have excellent signature fish tacos." - Neha Talreja
