PJ Clarke’s Brunch by World Financial Center

The best part about P.J. Clarke’s in the World Financial Center is the view of the North Cove Marina and the Hudson River beyond. On warm spring and summer days, it can be sublime if you can deal with the swirl of traffic whizzing by.

Other than that, though, P. J. Clarke’s for a Saturday or Sunday brunch is barely serviceable. In the year or so that a Battery Park City friend and I have gone to P.J.’s, the limited brunch menu has never changed and they can’t even seem to come up with a simple piece of sausage to go along with the Huevos Rancheros or the Cheese Omelette. It’s bacon, toast or potatoes - that is all.

Looking at the restaurant’s website, it appears this place at 250 Vesey St. in 10281 caters to the after-work crowd for booze and dry humping.

Today’s tab was $45 for the two of us. The service was o.k. even if the wait staff had trouble finding menus.

The P.J. Clarke’s dining experience shows how limited the Battery Park City area is for decent dining. There really isn’t much else around.

Come on up to the East Village, BPC residents!
