Just had a fantastic meal at The Laurels in NYC! The smash burger was incredible—juicy and perfectly cooked, with all the right toppings. And their lavender spritz? So refreshing! But the best part was our server, Ben. He was super attentive and made the whole experience even better. If you go, definitely ask for him!
I was fascinated by their service; it's so elegant and peaceful. They have great food and the coffee is top-notch. Definitely my favorite place.
I’m so excited this new place has popped up in the east village! First of all, the setting is so pretty and romantic. The food is so fresh and flavorful, and the cocktails are to die for. 10/10 recommend The Laurels Club drink… so yummy. The service and people are lovely. Will be going back for date night and with friends!
I came here for brunch with friends and we were blown away The French toast is out of this world crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and topped with the most delicious berries. And can we talk about the bottomless electrolyte mimosas Genius idea. No hangover, just good vibes. The staff was super friendly and the vibe was perfect for a chill Sunday
I’m a native New Yorker living on the west coast now (aka missing New York), and when I visit home The Laurels is now my official first stop to satisfy those been-away-too-long blues. It’s just quintessential NYC. It has everything you’d want from a classic Irish pub, but it’s so much more than that too: outstanding cocktails, a whole cafe menu, excellent food (try the fried shrimp they’re suspiciously good), and a classy, spacious, open-air atmosphere that feels sunny and somehow nostalgic even if you’ve never been there. You’d also be hard-pressed to find more genuinely good-natured (and genuinely Irish) management: walking in there feels friendly and welcoming. If you haven’t stopped in yet… well, get after it. It’s the kind of place you want to be a regular. Sláinte 🍻🍹🍸.
I found this place through the app "Pulsd" where 2 people get 1 entree each and bottomless drinks for $39! I believe you can also find the same deal on Groupon. Reservations were easy to make by dming their instagram or through Resy. It wasn't pretty crowded on Saturday noon so we got to sit where we like. The inside of the restaurant was cute and had ample seating. I went with their eggs benedict and potatoes and thought it was great! I liked how they didn't drown it in hollandaise sauce similar to what other places do. The spicy sriracha hollandaise wasn't too spicy and added a kick of flavor. Although I do with the portions were a little bigger, even by adding a bit more potatoes. The bottomless mimosas were strong to me! After 4 drinks I started feeling "happy." With the pulsd deal I believe you can either choose between mimosas, peach bellinis, and bloody marys. Service was attentive and made sure our glasses were kept full. Bonus: they have super clean and restrooms and theres also a nice park 1 block down in case you need to recover lol
Had a wonderful brunch at The Laurels today! The avocado toast was so delicious and so were the drinks!
Went in for a great brunch yesterday. The electrolyte brunch! The maracujá margarita was 🔥🔥. So good. The burger and spicy fries were amazing as well. The oysters were good but got a few teeny ones. They happens everywhere though.
We dropped in for a drink and a quick snack before seeing ASSSSCATS at The Upright Citizens Brigade Theater across the street! It was a cute busy Friday and the place was happening! Beautiful people everywhere! The wings were fantastic! My husband had a non-alcoholic drink and I had a fancy cocktail! Definitely a cute spot for the winter but it looks like a grand spot for the warmer months with their outdoor seating! Highly recommend!
Good vibes, great food. The bartender was super cool and friendly. Out of all the drinks I tried, the margarita was my favorite. Heads up their kitchen closes at 11pm so that’s something to keep in mind if you plan on staying late, bar closes at 4am.
