Café Boulud is Daniel Boulud’s Michelin-starred Upper East Side dining room, where a polished French brunch menu runs from truffled eggs Benedict to hanger steak and eggs. Locals treat it as the neighborhood’s special-occasion brunch, with white-tablecloth service, strong cocktails, and a room that still feels relaxed enough for late-morning celebrations.
