NYC Brunch Spots: Sunny Springtime Dining

On the western arrondissement of Chelsea sits une petite reve of a restaurant, Montmartre - a restaurant whose burger has been hailed as one of New York's best, and whose sister restaurants include the likes of such brunch nobility as Joseph Leonard's, Jeffrey's Grocery, and Fedora. As if all of this isn't reason enough to head straight there, their piece de resistance is their tucked away backyard garden - perfect for sunlit brunching. Very rustic-modern, Provencal-urban. If for some bizarre reason you're not in the mood for their Raclette Burger, which will have you thanking Cheesus it's so good, their asparagus and goat cheese omelette is equally as Franco-feeling.
