Veselka is my go-to for brunch in the Lower East Side. The prices are great, the portions are perfect for the day after a night out. They're usually pretty swamped on weekend days but there are some cute shops nearby that you can wander through while you're waiting and the food is well worth it. I love that they have an outdoor seating option too. I really enjoy their pancakes and crispy bacon (it's actually crispy!). Their burgers are also delicious. And the best part is: they're open 24 hours. You can also follow them on Twitter: @veselkaNYC
Pros: Yummy brunch menu, pleasant service, fair prices
Cons: Usually a wait
