Brunch on Long Island
John Griffin
Brunch is the type of meal you want to eat on a lazy Sunday, when waking up early isn't a priority. The beauty of brunch is that there are no rules - you can eat almost anything you like, from poached eggs or pancakes to a salad or sandwich to a serious pasta or steak.
The following restaurants represent just a sampling of the brunch possibilities Long Island offers. Keep in mind that prices don't include tax or gratuity and that it's smart to call ahead and reserve, especially since private parties occasionally pre-empt a restaurant's regular schedule.
