The East Pole Kitchen & Bar

Awesome brunch spot on the Upper East Side. Sit outside if the weather is warm, or under the skylight if it isn't. Avocado toast , eggs florentine , or yogurt and granola are all great bets.

Try the sundae , bourbon-vanilla & Scotch-chocolate ice creams form the base; the booze factor are cherries soaked in Pimm’s, and salted-caramel chocolate sauce & whipped cream mellow the alky punch. Read more

Chef Nicholas Wilber's menu includes light dishes like fluke crudo , white gazpacho , and roasted heirloom carrots , as well as things like chicken Kiev and a bacon cheeseburger with duck fat fries .

Casual brunch . Surprisingly busy, and even saw the Barefoot Contessa! Yummy avo toast with a great homemade hot sauce . Service a bit slow so order multiple drinks at a time ????

One of the best brunches in NY (best in UES). Simple yet so complex in its flavors - soul satisfying, no pretension, and incredible incredible service and people- feels like home should be.

Cheap and charming grilled cheese ($8). The Vermont cheddar , brightened with a chutney-like spread on crunchy Pullman toast , can feed two; it’s hipped up with house-made pickles . Read more

The crab toast was great, grilled cheese is pretty standard. I like the ambience here, it has a lot of natural light

The Burger and Duck Fat Fries are great. The Chocolate Espresso Bread Pudding is delicious. Rocky, the hostess , is fabulous and Dennis the Maitre d' is fantastic too!

All dishes were pretty basic, but delicious. Try kale Caesar salad , orecchiette , crab & avocado toast . Made us wait 40 minutes for our table, offered free crudo for the wait & then charged us for it!

Great spot for dinner on ues. Young fun vibe. Nice outdoor seating . Chicken Kiev is great.

Really inventive cocktail list . Big enough for larger parties. The burger really is fantastic.

ORDER: Roasted cherry tomato and curry toast , Peekytoe crab on toast , Heirloom-bean salad with pig’s cheeks, Fish pie , Ice-cream sundae or Bread-pudding special

Great neighborhood place , and amazing service. The owner comped several items because the fries we ordered never came.

The food is great. I wish the seats r more separate on the sofa side. All I hear is next seats's convocation. And very hard to walk around the tables. It's too crowded !!!

Delicious apple cocktail ! Would recommend the pumpkin soup and apple cocktail for a perfect fall day.

The rumors are true: the avocado toast IS that good.

English Breakfast and Avoca Toast with sauce on the side. Great place and nice venue

"Start with the Scotch egg , because it's an egg wrapped in sausage , then make moves with the Dutch apple pancake with bourbon maple syrup ."
