UWS Restaurant Among 100 Most Popular Brunch Spots In America

UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — An Upper West Side restaurant has been named among a new list of the 100 most popular brunch spots in the United States.

The list was compiled by the online reservation website OpenTable just ahead of Mother's Day, and is based on the analysis of more than 13 million diner reviews.

The Upper West Side eatery that made the best brunch list? Cafe Luxembourg.

The popular eatery off the corner of Broadway and West 70th Street serves up French cuisine, and is particular well known for its brunch offerings.

Its brunch menu includes French Onion Soup, Salmon Tartare, Oysters, Breakfast Sandwiches, Avocado Toast, Smoked Salmon Plates, and more.

Mother’s Day was the second-biggest dining day of 2022, and the majority of reservations were booked five days in advance, according to OpenTable survey data. To get a table, reserve now — or at least by May 9, experts say.

The survey, conducted for OpenTable by the online research and data analysis group YouGov, found that 78 percent of U.S. adults plan to celebrate Mother’s Day with a meal out, and that they’ll spend the same or more than they have in previous years.

Also, according to the survey, about 30 percent of moms want to go to their favorite restaurants; 18 percent don’t care where they go, but want the menu to feature their favorite cuisine; 15 percent want to try something new; 12 percent want to eat outdoors; 6 percent want an elevated culinary experience; and 5 percent want to eat at a woman-owned restaurant.
