I'm a Tribeca native so I've found myself stumbling into Bubby's for brunch on Sundays a handful of times. I really don't see what all the hype is about. Perhaps it's because it is the only place in Tribeca to get a quick, cheap, meal but still feel like your part of the cool crowd because, hey, it's Bubbys. Well, the food is bland and boring. Sandwiches are awful, ie. tuna, chicken, burgers. My advice- check out Five Points. It's the best brunch in New York, I've been going forever. They're consistent- the food, service and ambience make the quintessential brunch, and they're inexpensive. (The lighting is also very condusive to Sunday am hangovers!) One more last bit of advice, if you're still going to try out Bubby's, request to sit near the kitchen. One peek of what's behind those doors will keep you from going back ever again. Scary.....
Pros: close to my apt.
Cons: everything
