NYC brunch reception

Calle Ocho offers unlimited sangria during Sunday brunch. Saturdays though, I'm not sure if the sangrias bottomless. Their food is amazing. They have private room in the back for larger parties.

Beauty & Essex, Sarabeth's & Yotel are good choices too but my vote is Calle Ocho!

Check out new leaf cafe http://newleafrestaurant.com/private-events/weddings/

I LOVE the New Leaf Cafe. Also try City Hall (the restaurant), Red Rooster .http://redroosterharlem.com/menus/

Did you think about the other side of the hudson? the Waterside, Charthouse? How about boats?

Haha Calle Ocho is number one on that list. Loooove that place!

Yea isn't that funny fit bride...I'll have to go one day if it's that good!

@Danielle, you won't regret it. Wait till you try their yuca bread OMG

Thanks ladies for all the info! I'm checking them out. Will let you know what I think and which places we visit

@Barbara, OMG, the new leaf cafe looks Beautiful.

@DAnielle- Hilarious!

@Celia Milton. I'm checking out the waterside. It looks gorgeous! I'm definitely open to Jersey if its not far.

It is beautiful and their food is pretty good. If you wanted, you could have your ceremony in the park for a small permit fee-- seriously awesome views of the Hudson River.

There's not really much else in the neighborhood, but you could block a hotel in Fort Lee area of NJ and provide a shuttle for any out-of-towners.

New Leaf is gorgeous, and don't forget it is right near the Cloister (pix). Fort Lee for guests isn't a bad idea at all; it's not far.

@Celia Milton- I'm in love with Waterside. I'm going to contact them and ask for a quote.

"Did you think about the other side of the hudson? the Waterside, Charthouse? How about boats?" Celia Milton-

we've decided to do a night time reception. We both realized that as nice a brunch reception sounds, we're not morning people. It would just be stressful. I thought of Celia Milton's advice and Jersey is a good idea and if it's not far from the city it would work.

@ Celia Milton- We looked at Waterside but It's out of our price range. Does anyone know of any affordable venues in NJ not far from NYC? By affordable I mean under 100pp.
