You only have venture to Hudson Street on a weekend morning, to see people waiting for a free table to get their hungry mitts on one of the delicious offerings from the brunch menu. Brunch is one of the main attractions of this rare New York Restaurant.

Whether you tend towards the breakfast side or feel you could handle an early lunch, Bubby's is the place to enjoy the city’s most authentic American home cooking. From pancakes made from sourdough, home-smoked salmon and burgers to quiet the aficionado, this is where you’ll get that comforting dish that has secured Bubby's a widespread reputation for simple food made to the highest standards. There is no booking policy for brunch, so you have as good a chance as any getting a table.

Part of the recipe of success for Bubby's Pie Co. is down to the integrity of the ingredients. Everything than can be made on the premises is. Homemade produce is the underlying theme of every mouthful. Even the ice-cream is homemade, and few pleasures compare to a delightful balance between creamy consistency and flavour derived from the careful incorporation of prize ingredients.

Bread features prominently on every part of the menu. Although the bread is not baked by Bubby's, it is sourced from the best local bakeries. You’ll get to enjoy your home-smoked salmon with an H&H bagel or perhaps a home-smoked turkey BLT on Sullivan St. bread is more your speed.

Many fine New York Restaurants hold their homemade goodies in high regard, as they should, but few offer such fabulous treats which hanker after the golden days of the diner. A Bubby's old-fashioned Fountain Soda or Eggcream is a straight ticket to heaven. If you can manage to turn away from the Loco Lime Chili Pepper Soda, then you might find yourself lost in the playground of milkshakes and malteds.

Bubby's is not only about brunch and the all-but-lost art of the perfect burger and milkshake, the dinner menu has made sure of that. The meaty delights from the BBQ yield such irrepressible pleasures as Pulled Berkshire Farms Pork Butt and the kind Spare Ribs to make a Texan doff his hat.

The Buttermilk Fried Chicken is in a league of melting deliciousness all of its own. As with the meal itself, the best is saved for last. As far as New York Restaurants go, this is the place to get that thick wedge of fantastic pie that any Mother’s kitchen would be proud to have produced. After all, Bubby's began as a pie shop and has never ceased to create the most delicious, mouth-watering and insanely addictive slices of sugary magnificence. The Michigan Sour Cherry Pie is legendary among those who like their decadent delights with a tang, while the Chocolate Peanutbutter Pie will have you trying to steal the recipe.

In 2003 Bubby's DUMBO opened in Brooklyn. Bringing the same wonderful authentic American home cooking to a larger space, the new branch has great views of the river and the city. Both branches are popular haunts for celebrations and parties, though Bubby's DUMBO has the capacity for 300 people, making it better suited to larger events.
