HOME > Chowhound > Manhattan >   Bowery Brunch    • 2   I am
looking for a brunch spot - out of town friends staying on
Bowery. I've been to The Smile for bkfst and Gemma for brunch
and they are fine, but not outstanding. I was wondering if there
are better options. Is Five Points for tourists or is it
actually good?     1. Click to Upload a photo (10 MB limit)   1.
I like Five Points for brunch, the wait can be long if you don't
have a reservation. Also consider Peels, Hecho en Dumbo, Saxon &
Parole. Pulino's and DBGB are also nearby and Public is. Short
walk away.      1. Five points is actually good. I live in the
neighborhood and have been there for brunch a couple of times.
They do a very good job (with the caveat that the last time I
was there was March, 2011).
