After all of the festivities of New Year's Eve, all that we ask for of New Year's Day is a good brunch to settle our stomach (and maybe a strong drink to steady our head). Lucky for us, many of New York's best bruncheries are going to be open on the first day of the year, including newcomers like the East Village's Belcourt, which is pushing its spicy tripe soup with Parmesan cheese ($6) as the cure for your hangover. However, to help you avoid disappointment in 2008, we called a number of the big brunch joints around town to see who will be open and, just as important, who will be closed.
- And here are a few brunch biggies that are not open on New Year's Day:
- Felix
- Five Points
- Prune
- Sarabeth’s on 75th
