NYC - New Year's Day Brunch
My husband and I will be in NYC over New Year's, and I'd like to go somewhere for brunch. I assume that even though New Year's Day is a Tuesday, many restaurants will have brunch? Will the prices be way inflated because it's New Year's Day? (In other words, are we better off going to brunch a couple of days before on Sunday?) What brunches do you recommend? (We are staying at The Carlyle, so I'd prefer a restaurant in that general area.) Thanks!

I'm here. But I don't know why I'd have any good advice. I've never been in NYC on New Year's Day.
But you might look at Open Table for starters putting in something like noon of January 1. Then you can click to the websites of those which offer reservations to see if they list anything special.
My experience has been though that New Year's Day is NOT a busy time much of anywhere. So I doubt that there will be a lot of special offerings or at least not at inflated prices.

See if any of the following are open on New Year's Day
Blue Ribbon Bakery
Zoe's
Five Points
9th Street market
CLinton St Bakery
I Coppi
Second Tier
Cafe Deville
Veselka, an Eastern European spot that is anything but upscale
These are all popular spots and are very crowded on an ordianry weekend.

What timing! Here's an article from TODAY'S NYTimes about the topic:

I'd opt for the Boathouse in Central Park of the choices it lists.

Duh. My apologies. I googled and that NY Times article popped up at the head of the list. I saw today's date at the top of the header and thought it was from today's paper -- no wonder it was so odd that they'd be doing such a list two months before New Years!
Sorry -- scratch that article!!!

Well don't feel too bad - 6 of the restaurants are still there, and those aren't bad suggestions - so combined with the other posters' suggestions, it's a good list. Not sure what will be open, though . . .
Maybe check out Payard, too.

For Upper East Side, I've had good brunches/lunches at Atlantic Grill, Orsay, and Lenox. Cafe de Soleil is also very good, and pretty.
If you want to come farther downtown, the Water Club does a nice lunch (as does the Carlyle for that matter.)and I second the nomination for Artisanal. Even farther downtown, I love Balthazar for a weekend brunch/lunch.
Make sure these will be open on New Year's Day.
