Gemma
An annex of the trendy Bowery Hotel, Gemma is a go-to spot for the local, brunch-loving, cool Lower East Side crowd. The Italian brasserie has a vibe that is equal parts rustic and polished, and the menu is equally eclectic. Favorites include truffled polenta fries and brioche french toast with mascarpone cheese - two examples of the tried and true, Italian-influenced staples that dominate the menu. Pair your meal of choice with one of Gemma's Bloody Mary's, which are supposed to be among the best in the city.
