Brunch Spots to Try This Weekend

If you're craving some brunch this weekend (we definitely are!), here are some local spots we recommend.

The Breakfast Club: This new-in-January brunch spot in the East Village features ample vegan offerings (avocado-tomato jam toast), sweet treats (cinnamon roll pancakes) and savory classics with a twist (the Notorious B&G, a jalapeno biscuit with a fried egg, crispy bacon, and sausage, bacon and ham gravy). The eatery is open from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. every day.

Centro: From the prosciutto and eggs with country Italian toast to the divine breakfast pizza, you can't go wrong with brunch at Centro, available at 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. tomorrow and Sunday.

Bubba—Southern Comforts: Get your Southern, big-food fix here, including shrimp and grits, fried green tomato Benedict, chicken-fried steak and eggs. Brunch is offered from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. tomorrow and Sunday.
