NYC Brunch Spots: Labor Day Weekend Edition

In all the holiday weekend hype, there's hope that the city may be properly simmered down - the masses disappearing on their paganistic barbecue and beach pilgrimage out east. Take advantage and stop over at one of the summer's biggest new hits, Santina. Settle in under one of their bright blue and orange umbrellas, sealing up that tail end tan that will be disappearing all too soon, and order their namesake Santina sandwich - a scrambled egg, fontina cheese, green chili and bacon pick me up. That or the Shrimp Frittata, both winners that will have you well-fueled to combat museum fatigue just next door at the Whitney. Santina, 820 Washington Street [Photo via @ediblemoments]
