The Carlyle hotel has a wonderful, fancy, traditional buffet brunch that makes me think of dressing up for Easter Sunday and other special occasion brunches with my family.

I hate to be so completely average and to also wait in line behind throngs of tourists and many others me’s, but Balthazar! It is just SO yummy.
As for outside of the city, I recently had a great Mother’s Day brunch at: Ruby’s Oyster Bar & Grill

“The Lobster Club with Bib Lettuce, Tomatoes and Bacon served with Pommes Frites” was delicious!

Two faves I crave:
1) Prune’s fried oyster omelette w/ remoulade sauce, side of homemade lamb sausage, and a bloody mary!
2) City Bakery’s glazed french toast by the pound, a pretzel croissant, and hot chocolate!

I don’t brunch much, but when I do, the bread basket at Vinegar Factory is a favorite.

my favorite brunch craving in the city is my own fried egg sandwich, with fresh bread and a slice of tomato!

The muffin basket that comes to every table at Dizzy’s in Park Slope. Not too sweet, served with strawberry butter . . . yum.

I love Murray’s Bagels. My fave is the pumpernickel bagel with scallion cream cheese.

My wife makes a mean egg sandwich: scrambled egg with tomoato, onion, and mayonaisse on 7-grain toast.

I LOVE the salt bagel at Bergens in Brooklyn. It tastes like a pretzel!
