Oops, Mercer Kitchen. Was there a few weeks ago and it was excellent. Love Five Points as well, but they rarely change their menu and I was (gasp) getting sick of the french toast and lemon ricotta pancakes.

Little Giant, Alias and Freeman's Alley all do a decent brunch and have a full bar.
Alias is more "comfort food" though for brunch.
Clinton Street *on the weekend* is a nightmare--long lines, premixed cocktails, the baked goods are not fresh, and you will witness table turning at it's best. A party of more than 2 can expect a 2 hour wait.
Azul was doing brunch, I'd double check that though. Totally relaxing, not crowded, only beer, wine and sangria though.
I cannot comment on brunch at Stanton Social, dinner service is fine (during the week or Sunday evening only), though its patrons try too hard.

For a regular brunch, Jane in the west village/soho is good. The brioche french toast is amazing.....tastes like creme brulee (I really go for the great bloody marys though...my favorite in the city)

Well, we want to stay in Soho because Jennifer (my other sister) is taking the Acela (or maybe the shuttle) from Boston to meet us. Jennifer went to Parsons and is a "downtown" person. We can't be eating in midtown or UES.
Jennifer hates Balthazar because it is too noisy and she doesn't like to wait for a table.
I don't think the Waverly Inn is open for brunch, is it??
