Continuing our series on Westchester’s best brunches, we profile a couple of the best places in New Ro’ and the northern county communities.
Alvin & Friends Restaurant
14 Memorial Hwy
New Rochelle, NY 10801
(914) 654-6549
Brunch served Sunday 11:30am-3pm
Alvin & Friends is known for its Southern and Caribbean cuisine, so it makes sense that they offer dishes like “Shrimp and Grits” ($18) as well as “Creole Dry Rub Steak and Eggs” ($13.95) on their brunch menu. Don’t worry if you’re not up for these rather eccentric items come Sunday morning, though; they still feature classics like Buttermilk Pancakes ($7.95) and Bananas Foster French Toast ($8.95). You won’t regret coming by for the enjoyable ambiance and top-notch cooking.
The Arch
1292 New York 22
Brewster, NY 10509
(845) 279-5011
Brunch served Sundays from 12-3pm
To celebrate any special occasion or just to cap off an enjoyable weekend, The Arch is a fantastic choice for brunch. Granted it may be just outside Westchester in Putnam County, and costly for a Sunday afternoon meal ($42 for complete brunch), but dishes like the Maryland crab and lobster cake and hazelnut crème brulee are too good not to try. Zagat describes this fine dining experience as “sophistication in a country setting.”
