As many of you know, brunch in New York City is truly an art. And since it is my last weekend as a true New Yorker {yes, I'm moving back to Alabama} I thought i would post my five favorite brunch spots in the city- though there are thousands more! 1. Hudson Clearwater

This is one of my all-time favorite brunch spots. Located on Hudson street this restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside but the inside is a charming and quaint. Everything on the menu is unreal but in my opinion, the Johnnycakes {take the cake}.

If you want a great biscuit in NYC this is the place you need to go. Located on the upper west side this is one of our favorites post-church spots. And, yes- the pickles are amazing too!

Located in the heart of SoHo this place is perfect for brunch + dinner. With its quaint atmosphere there are always regulars lining up to get a spot!

This place is right around the corner from my apartment and has some of the best avocado toast I've ever had. An Australian- themed spot with white walls and beach themed decor, this is definitely a spot you have to visit.

Located on the Upper West Side {right across from the Seinfeld diner} this spot prides itself on making local food. Everything on the menu is fresh and unbelievably delicious. My favorite? the whole wheat waffles with fresh fruit and homemade whipped cream!
