We started both days almost at lunch time... The sleep in was just so refreshing.
Chelsea Grill
675 9th Ave, NY
Saturday, we had a long 2.5 hour brunch with the baby.... We bought a $29 deal voucher from pulsd.com for a brunch for 2. This included free flow of alcohol for Z, and i had my free flow of juices with a few sips of his mimosa. Food was not too bad... pretty big portions which kept us full till the next day. However we didn't feel that this was worth the money at all as burgers on the menu cost $6.50, and a main cost about $12. Anything above $13 for a main was to be charged over the $29 value.
The venue is not baby friendly at all. We were fortunate to have arrived just as they opened (at 11:30am). So we got the front table where we parked our stroller. Otherwise it was almost impossible to park a stroller, and they did not have baby chairs.
I had the Big Breakfast that had pancakes, 3 eggs, sausages, bacon and hash, and Z had the Everything Burger (turkey) with sweet potato fries and potato hash.
The Big Breakfast was really very average... no wait, it's below average because the sausage was burnt, and to bacon too. The pancakes were very nice though... So instead of a 2/5, I will give it a 3/5 thanks to the pancake. The burger meat (we selected the turkey option) was not all that nice. There are other really nice turkey burgers in NYC. The really nice bit was the potato hash and the sweet potato fries that we added as sides.

After the long brunch, we headed home to sleep (yes baby Shane needed to take his afternoon nap) and headed out to Central Park in the early evening.
Sunday was pretty much the same! Bliss.
