White Plains' Best Brunch

White Plains brunch has a split personality, and that is the point. One weekend you are at Via Garibaldi, watching sizzling lamb arrive tableside with valet parking out front.

The next, you are squeezing into Copper Kettle Cafe’s bar seating for a lamb orrechiete that tastes like the owner’s pride. Every neighborhood backs a different morning ritual.

The proof is in the Dutch Baby at Original Pancake House and the hand-cut fries at Greca. We tested twelve spots to sort the reliable from the merely passable.

Start here.
