NYC Tastes

Primehouse is one of my go-to brunch places.  It's close to my apartment, they have plenty of outdoor seating and you get a free drink with your brunch entree.   This visit I tried out the Crab Cake Benedict.

Talk about huge portions my friends Crab BLT was absolutely enormous! The Plain Old Breakfast Sandwich wasn't too small either with some nice slabs of crispy bacon on top.  We all left completely stuffed and certainly satisfied. Primehouse

Primehouse took over the old Park Avenue Country Club spot and even thought that place was pretty awful it held a special place in our hearts. Every year we would reserve a table for the start of March Madness and spend the whole day focused on basketball, beer drinking and gambling. It was awesome. So when the place got sold we were a little upset but it was about time to let bygones be bygones. It was a gorgeous sunny day and only two other tables were filled outside when we arrived so we had our pick of the lot. Much like the other BR Restaurant group brunch always begins with a free cocktail. Here the choices were more varied than usual- Mimosa, Bloody Mary, Bellini, Champagne, Screwdriver or Campari. I had a Bellini and noticed the brunch menu was more varied as well. There w...
