If you find yourself planning a weekend full of Christmas festivities and want to walk around Bryant Park, L’Adresse  is a great spot for a group brunch.  This is across the street from the park so it is away from the mini Christmas shops madness. I came here for a birthday brunch last month, and the service & cocktails were great. Specifically, the cucumber margarita was amazing. There is also a location in Nomad. I would definitely come back if I was in the area and itching to try their truffle burger.
