NYC Brunch Spots: 5 Neighborhoods, 5 Favorites

All the time in the world to loaf about, paint your teeth a lovely shade of red wine, pick ever so uninterestedly at a cheese plate, speak plainly of old loves and existential philosophies while looking off into the distance - you know, as we imagine all Italians spend their afternoons. Don't even think about those trendy ruins of restaurants Da Silvano or Bar Pitti, we won't allow it. Go to Giorgione to enjoy a heightened simplicity, and bathe yourself in olive oil. Avocado and Aged Balsamic Vinegar, Sauteed Zuchinni Blossoms filled with ricotta and smoked mozzarella, an Open Face Italian Omelette with roasted asparagus and parmigianno - Giorgio Deluca - yes, of that house of Deluca - knows how to fashion a spread fit for any Roman Goddess.
