Sofrito is a waterfront Puerto Rican restaurant overlooking the Hudson that turns weekends into a brunch party with platters, mofongo, and daytime cocktails. The focus is more on music, views, and celebration than quiet morning plates, making it a popular choice for festive group brunches.

What makes it special: Hudson-side Puerto Rican restaurant where weekend brunch comes with loud music, big portions, and river views.
Who should go: Groups planning a high-energy brunch centered on celebration and drinks.
When to visit: Weekend early afternoon for full brunch service and the most atmosphere.
What to order: Mofongo with pernil, shrimp mofongo, steak and eggs.
Insider tip: Book ahead and budget extra time between courses; the room gets busy and the pace is set more for lingering than quick turnover.
