#whereisweekes.....was celebrating with my daughter's pre-birthday!!!. The food was good, but small portions for the amount paid. The unlimited Mimosas were good but had a little wait for refills. The service was good for the sold-out crowd. The atmosphere was alive and well vibe. I must say that these young crowds keep TWERKING ALIVE. The music was bumping, and everybody had a great time. I'm so glad that my daughter's friends came out to celebrate her. - Mama Love

Big Apple Brunch Introduce

In a city where brunch is not just a meal but a weekend ritual, Big Apple Brunch stands out as a destination that elevates the experience to a full-blown party. Tucked away in the vibrant Hell's Kitchen neighborhood, this isn't your typical quiet cafe. It's a lively and energetic venue that combines delicious comfort food with a pulsating atmosphere of live music and good vibes. The space is specifically designed to be a celebration, a place where people can gather with friends, listen to great music, and start their weekend with an unforgettable meal. The concept is simple yet brilliant: take classic brunch dishes and serve them in an environment that is pure New York City energy.

The essence of Big Apple Brunch is its dynamic atmosphere. The air is filled with the bumping sounds of hip-hop and other lively tunes spun by a live DJ, creating a celebratory mood that gets everyone in the spirit. As one customer noted, the "atmosphere was alive and well vibe," and the music was "bumping." This energy makes it an ideal spot for groups and special occasions, particularly birthday celebrations, as evidenced by a review that mentioned a daughter's pre-birthday party where everyone had a "great time." While the service can be fast, even during a "sold-out crowd," it’s attentive enough to ensure that guests' needs, especially for drink refills, are met. The overall experience is one of pure fun and excitement, making it a place you'll want to return to again and again.

The food menu is as impressive as the vibe. Big Apple Brunch offers a pre-fix menu that provides excellent value and variety. Guests can choose from a range of delicious and hearty options, including savory dishes like Cajun Shrimp and Grits and Jerk Lamb Chops, as well as brunch favorites such as Chicken & Waffles and Avocado Toast. The kitchen also serves up popular appetizers like Crispy Chicken Wings and tempting desserts, including the festive Birthday Piñata Sundae. This combination of a well-curated menu, great cocktails, and a high-energy environment makes Big Apple Brunch more than just a meal—it's a destination for a good time.
