PS 450

Solid spot to visit on a Saturday night. I dropped by with a group of 6 friends and we had no issues with having to wait on a line or paying a cover fee. The place wasn’t huge but at no point in the evening did I feel crammed in to a corner like some other places. The drinks are cheap here and there are two DJ’s. The «private» room in the back has a totally different vibe and it seems like it attracts some local celebs. Very diverse crowd here.

Love this place. It’s the perfect hybrid of restaurant, lounge/​bar, and club. Stylish décor and rather a large space (3 rooms).
Went on a Friday night for a late dinner. The menu is what I called inspired American. There’s lots of variety and options, so it’s great if you’re dining with people who have different dietary needs. You can get a kale salad but you can also get a burger. I alter between vegan and vegetarian food while my boyfriend is a true meat and potatoes guy. It’s a challenge to find a place we both like and this spot was perfect. I ended up getting their black bean burger which was huge and really good! Drinks were great. Everything is reasonably priced. Stayed for a few hours after dinner to listen to the DJ which played a lot of good tracks (both old and brand new). Good looking crowd (which never hurts a place). Loved how people felt free to dance by the bar but there was also a designated dance area (which was also filled).

Girls just wanna have bru-​unchhhh OH GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE BRUNCHHH
I guess since we’re black it was unfortunate for us to have stepped into the spot an hour after our reservation. Luckily the staff was nice enough to hold a section aside until we all arrived. I sat down ready to drink my life away and get served some delicious brunch bites.
Upon entry of this place it was like a nice cool vibe on a Sunday afternoon. Music was pumping and people were dancing. Once we sat down we immediately received our «unlimited mimosas and bellinis». What’s great about how this is served is that the drinks are not mixed yet and the pitchers do not have ice in them. This means that you share out your own drink making your own champagne-​to-​juice ratio and nothing is watered down. After we all shared our first glass we realized the waitress took a lifetime to give us the menus. I took a star off for service. It’s never fair for you to give a group of 11 women alcoholic beverages with no food options to follow up with. We almost died. To top it off… by the time we did order our waitress came back just to tell us the chef ran out of burgers and steak. HELLOOOOOOOO if you hadn’t taken 15+ minutes to give us our menus we wouldn’t have had this problem. BUT, she did order shots on her for the hiccup so we sat and shut our complaining mouths anyway.
Once the food came there was absolutely no complaints. Ok I lied. One person received her steak a bit too raw for her liking (she actually received the last steak in the place lol) and another complained that her food was cold. Other than that, the food was delicious. I had the cinnamon apple French toast and a salad. Salad was so fresh and crisp just how I like it and their spin on the French toast was different but definitely a tasty treat. Oh I also tried the eggs from someone else’s plate, the homefries from another plate, and the French fries topped with everything from someone’s plate. Yea, I was being that greedy and all was good!
This place is fun. If I wore heels I’m almost positive I would be stumbling out those doors. We left around 7:15…filled with booze and a satisfied appetite. Be careful with the bottomless drinks ppl. I literally turned blind by the time I left this place.

Went here on a Sunday for a friends bday brunch, I must say that this was one of the best brunches I’ve had. The food was delicious– I had the Plain Jane which was French toast and home fries. Boozy brunch and unlimited mimosas, and the DJ was on point. The place gets a little crowded but that’s to be expected. All in all u had a good time and will be back

P. S. 450 in my opinion has one of the best brunches offered in NY. It’s an upscale restaurant offering chic ambiance and decorum. There’s a live Dj spinning top 40 and hip hop on weekends and the place is bustling with business minded 21−30somethings. They have a strict dress code enforced at the door– no sweats, hoodies, baggy clothing, etc so dress accordingly.
What I liked– The all you can drink brunch is the way to go. Instead of bringing mimosas out in an already mixed carafe as most places do, they bring a bottle of champagne with Oj on the side so you can mix at your leisure and at your own strength. The food seemed reasonably priced for the area. I ordered the steak and eggs entrée and when I wasn’t happy with the over cooked ribeye I was promptly given a replacement. Both the hostess and waitress were courteous and attentive.
What I disliked– They only take reservations for parties of 10 or more. I find that quite unreasonable as summer brunch in NYC is as popular as ever. You’re basically going to be stuck with a wait time unless you’re there when brunch first starts.
If you can bear the wait time definitely give them a shot.

The pulled pork sandwich was the best I have had in a while ! Great juicy flavor as opposed to the dry renditions I’ve been served recently.
The fries were addicting. I couldn’t stop eating.

WARNING: Hmmmm… this might be a rather lengthy review.
There have been two separate occasions I’ve gone to PS 450 for brunch. The first time I came was back in May 2014 for my birthday and I was thrilled. However, my most recent visit this past weekend left me a bittersweet taste in my mouth.
What was exactly the problem this time around… you may be asking.
Well…
Our group of 9 arrived on time for our reservation (sans for 1 person) and we were quickly seated after speaking to the hostess. However, we were seated in a makeshift section directly across from the hostess stand. The tables were rather low and we were seated on ottomans. I mean I’ll take a little back pain for AYCD brunch, but that wasn’t the issue. Every time the door was opened and patrons came in we were subjected to a really cold breeze. Also, we didn’t have anywhere to place our coats so we were told we either had to pay for coat check (which wasn’t anything that would break the bank) or leave our coats on hooks by the bar. Now, if you’re going to seat me somewhere that I have no where to place my coat except the FLOOR, at least be courteous enough to include a coat check.
We eventually were moved up after speaking to the hostess to another makeshift area by the front and directly in front of the glass doors (which are opened up during the warmer weather I’m assuming). No breeze there, but since there was a snow storm occurring outside we definitely felt the cold in our seating area.
Had we been seated by the back area that would’ve been a way better option. It’s dimly light and right next to the DJ so you feel as though you’re in a club and lose track of time. We were front row and center of what was going on outside.
Regardless of this, the waitress was rather friendly and kept stocking up our bellinis, champagne, and orange juice. HOWEVER, all that liquor was not enough to keep us warm.
For the most part, we received our orders rather quickly, but weren’t impressed. For unlimited AYCD brunch with a select menu at $ 45, I’d expect the plate to be a bit bigger, food to be served a bit warmer, or even better options. I guess it’s all about the drinks versus the food.
Not a bad place, I’m sure to have a drink or two after work, but for brunch… NEXT!

I thought I would hate this place more, given the neighborhood, but the bartenders are friendly, the drinks are strong and the music/​dancing was FUN. A lot of throwbacks. I felt like I was back at a middle school dance (in a good way).

BOTTOMLESS BRUNCH REVIEW: came on Saturday around 1 and there was a 45 minute wait for three people. We went across the street to a bar to have a drink before brunch bc they’ll text you when your table is ready. Small interior that extends to the back. Loud music but not so bad you can’t hear. We sat in the back which has more of a lounge feel to it. You have the option to order A la carte but the bottomless brunch just makes more sense unless you’re not drinking. I ordered the eggs florentine (basically eggs Benedict with spinach) and my friend got the hangover fries. My eggs and salad were delicious better than I anticipated for a bottomless place. I tried the hangover fries and they are DELICIOUS, I wish I wasn’t trying to be good eating wise lol. The drinks were either mimosa, bloody Mary’s, or bellinis. Bloody Mary’s were well made and really tasty. The bellinis were also awesome and they keep them coming. You have a two hour time limit and they’ll let you know when you’re on the half hour left mark and we were brought two more carafes at that point. We tipped extra so we could hang once our «time was up». Now for the atmosphere. It’s loud but it’s not crazy. Definitely a bottomless brunch with the music but no real crazy dancing like I experienced at pranna. Pranna is at like an 8 and PS is about a 5 in terms of party. I had a great time and definitely left way more than tipsy. Overall I’d come back depending on the atmosphere I’m looking for. However I will say the food was definitely better than most AYCD places I’ve been to and service was great.

I am DONE with boozy brunches. I’m getting too old for this shit.
I’ve been getting plastered beyond redemption for the past three years during boozy brunches, and I end up throwing up my organs every time. This place was the third charm that confirmed my decision to eschew these blasphemous outings going forward.
I came here for the manpiece’s birthday gathering and I must’ve knocked back three Bloody Marys when I just started throwing up everything. I can still remember the chunks of ground beef from their so called Pat LaFrieda burger that came up as well as that nasty tomato aftertaste from the drinks (sorry for the graphic image).
Note to self: Boozy brunches will most likely serve cheap, shitty alcohol. Don’t become a cheap, shitty alcoholic.
P. S. And their «salad» is whack. It’s basically a bunch of greens thrown together into a bowl. No tomatoes. WTF.

I went for brunch. To start I definitely recommend. I recommend making a reservation though. The non-​reserved seating isn’t very comfortable and the wait can be lengthy. This isn’t a place I’d recommend bringing your parents or kids. It’s a booze brunch so it’s like one big party including the great Dj. It’s a pretty good mixed crowd of young people (21 – 30). The food was really good and when they say unlimited mimosas & belinis .THEY MEAN IT. You definitely get your money’s worth. It’s about $ 60 a person.

About 3 years ago was my first brunch experience and and I will say the Turn Up, DJ AND food was amazing. It has been a staple from then up until recently.
Their Bottomless brunch special has gone up to $ 45 (from 35) and they kind of force you to buy the package because for 1 mimosa it’s $ 10 (like who cam get right on 1 glass??) and a plate is $ 15 with automatic 20% gratuity added to your bill. Although the food is good the good vibes just isnt there for me anymore. DJ was just ok, people have gotten obnoxious. Time for PS450 and I to break up

I had my birthday brunch here last Saturday. It was a blast! There were about 14 people in my party and we were well accommodated. Two people were running very behind (rain & parking) and I was allowed to order their meals for them. Mimosas & Bellinis flowed the entire time. DJ was okay one star off for the fact that once brunch is over, there is no DJ until the dinner session begins which appeared to be about a 2 hour time frame. One major complaint — women’s restroom was absolutely disgusting. If you are going to serve unlimited alcohol, you must be sure the bathrooms are attended to around the clock.
Other than those two hiccups, this is a great place and I would definitely return!

I was back here last night for a friend’s birthday celebration. So PS450 recently made some changes. The back room looks so different I was surprised when I walked in after it being the same for so long. It has a library décor. Less chairs at the bar area. The seating space is more open. Not closed off like before.
Happy hour is until 8. Had to update the review since the prices are not as cheap as stated in my previous review anymore. They are between $ 7 – 9, with some shots for $ 5. Still a good deal. There are some food items on the HH menu as well.
Tried the chicken waffles bites. They are okay. Could have used less dough and more chicken.

Heard this was a great brunch spot for large groups, so I decided to have my birthday brunch here. I emailed the event planner and expressed my interest. He emailed me a contract. Pretty much, if there was 11 to 15 guest, I had to leave a $ 50 deposit. 16+ guest, there was a 50% deposit. I decided to stick with the 15 guest. Samantha n Abby were really informative n helpful during this period.
The day of the brunch was running 15mins late. I called to let them know I was running late n was told that was fine, n tht anyone in my party tht was there would be able to get seated. I arrived 15mins late. It was ROCKING! Crowded like a nightclub at 2pm. Young, mixed crowd. Very diverse population.
Food was good, overall. Service was fast. Our bottles kept coming! The dj was great; blasting the latest hip hop n R&B. We were supposed to be done at 4pm, but we were allowed to stay until we all left at 6:15ish. This place is definitely a hidden gem! I will return!

I celebrated my 22^nd birthday here last year for a Saturday boozy brunch, and it was a great time. So, originally I had reserved a brunch party at Yotel who called me 3 days before my event to tell me that I would not be able to reserve for that day. I was stressing out because how was I supposed to find something in 2 days. PS450 came clutch and to the rescue and had an open spot for that weekend as long as I filled out a form reserving my spot. Well… I mistakenly forgot to submit the reservation form and was panicking after I found out it was too late to reserve.
The woman I spoke with though kindly suggested my party of 10 come exactly when the restaurant opened at 11 am, and they would seat us accordingly. My friends being the good sport that they are, understood and we made it to PS450 at 11 am sharp. We were seated at the bar, and had a great time conversing with each other as well as the awesome bartender.
I literally do not know when I transitioned from being sober to not. We had a choice from Mimosas, Bellinis, and/​or Bloody Mary’s but I opted for mimosas — which by the way were phenomenal. They played great music around 12 and my friends were laughing and dancing. I went from being stressed that we wouldn’t be seated to having an absolutely amazing time. Thank you PS450!

PS 450 used to be one of my favorite boozy brunch places. Not only are their entrees amazing, they do not skimp on the alcohol. Servers bring out full bottles of champagne to the table so one does not have to go through the shame of being an alcoholic and constantly asking for a refill. However, on a recent visit to PS 450, I realized the hangover fries which I have been craving for is no longer on the menu. As a matter of fact, their entire menu has changed and it’s a huge shame. The food is still pretty delicious but I hate the new menu. Everything sounds waaaay too healthy for the sinful experience this is supposed to be. I recalled kale being on the menu and that’s never a good sign.
Food: Even with my bitter disappointment in the new menu, I decided to stay and order the eggs benedict over creamed spinach with home fries and sausage. The eggs were a bit overcooked and not as runny as I liked. The potatoes were fine but begged for more seasoning. The spinach was surprisingly delicious and added a nice pop of color.
Overall, the food wasn’t bad but definitely not as good as the old menu. The alcohol still does flow freely so it’s still a great place for some socially acceptable day drinking. However, this is no longer my favorite boozy bunch place anymore and I am on the lookout for a new favorite.

Who doesn’t love NYC brunch?! I do and I’m happy to say that PS 450 is a place that I can count on to grant me a pleasant experience.
I went this Saturday with a girlfriend of mine. I arrived a few minutes earlier so after carding me they let me sit at the bar to wait. I didn’t wait long and then we were sat a two person high top right across from the DJ. I thought we would be too close and the music would be too much but it never felt that way. The music filled the room but not at our expense.
The menu option is decent. I like that they offer a chicken sausage option. I’m currently just eating fish so I had egg with spinach and hollendaise sause. It was yums. My friend had the steak and eggs which she thoroughly enjoyed.
We loved that our mimosas never ran out in the two hours. (Which they are serious about their time limit, rightfully so to keep the flow going). Even as we paid the bill our waitress refilled ouur champagne bottle for one more round. After our two hours at the table, we were politely asked to sit at the bar so they could use the table. No problemo.
We moved to the bar and continued to receive good service. The bartenders were fun and entertaining. I continued with a Prosecco option and my friend had Jack and Coke. She didn’t complain of a water downed drink which is always a plus. So i really felt as though we were being taken care of.
The music is always top notch which is necessary to keep those brunch vibes going. They kept it lively and upbeat. I would definitely return. My one caveat would be the cost. They include gratuity in the bill so it was a bit a a shock when the bill came to the table and theres only two people eating brunch. But honestly for a bottomless brunch, with great music, atmosphere and location in New York City its not too bad.

I’ve been here on a few occasions, late night and Sunday brunch.
Sunday Brunch Review:
Definitely a fun, young, lively, (and drunk) scene.
$ 45 for an entrée and unlimited mimosas, bloody marys and bellinis for two hours. Or you can order everything a la carte. Obviously, my two friends and I choose the bottomless option.
The food was pretty good. My baked french toast was surprisingly good and definitely tasted better than it looked. I would prefer regular french toast though. My friends were really happy with their bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches; it was huge and presented nicely.
We were all drinking mimosas — they served a carafe of (mediocre) orange juice with a bottle of champagne which is cool because you can make your drink as strong or weak as you want.
The service was meh. After we were done eating we continued with our last bottle of champagne. I guess because we finished our food, one of the waiters asked us to move because they wanted to seat the next party. He was nice and assured us that we can go anywhere else in the venue to finish our drinks but at the same time there was really no where else to go considering it was getting crowded. Maybe I’m just a snob when it comes to good service but I really don’t like being rushed ever. I get that this is just the way they operate but it was still annoying, especially because it was a little before our 2 bottomless hours were up. However, it didn’t really ruin our time there because we were going to leave soon after anyways.
On a more positive note, our waitress was quick and champagne bottles just kept appearing on our table. By the time we were halfway done with one, there was another bottle on deck. The three of us went through 5 bottles in 2 hours which I really can’t complain about.
All in all, I did have a good time and wouldn’t complain if I found myself here again. If you’re looking to get wasted at brunch and have a good time this is definitely a solid choice. But if it was up to me, I’d probably pick a different spot next time just because there are too many good places to choose from in the city.

I feel like everyone knows about this wonderful place. I have heard soooo many people talk about it from friends who came into town to visit and from people who live throughout NYC. Apparently this is THE happening spot for brunch on the weekends and after visiting on 4^th of July I COMPLETELY UNDERSTOOD WHY.
There was only three in my party including myself. We arrived 12:30pm and was seated immediately. She gave us a table right next to the DJ. This establishment has 2 rooms. When you first walk in it is a regular bar setup and a couple of tables as well. In the back there is another area with a bar as well that looks like it can seat larger parties.
At PS450 their brunch is pretty awesome as far as pricing. For $ 40 dollars you get one entrée and it comes with a side of home fries and 2 hours of unlimited mimosas. The menu is not super elaborate but I imagine so they can get their food to you in the fastest amount of time. There are about 6 items on their menu. I ordered the shrimp and grits and it actually impressed me. I was expecting it to be rather bland and nothing exciting. They did a good job on the entrée. The homefries were nothing exciting and rather dry.
The unlimited mimosas were awesome because the waitress was super attentive and even gave us a heads up when we reached the 30 minute mark. Once our time was up we still had a carafe to finish and we are allowed to take it into the back room where people were groovin to the great vibes and sounds by the DJ.
The mood of the crowd was awesome because everyone was having fun and mixture of all types of people and walks of life.
I will be back PS450. Thanks for a good time.
