Voters selected Crosstown Diner as the best brunch destination in all of The Bronx. Brunch is that perfect meal on the weekend when you decide to sleep late and, by the time you wake up, you’re starving but it’s too late for breakfast and too early for lunch. Diners are the perfect destinations for brunch because there are few other restaurants where you can order breakfast or lunch menu items at any time of the day (or night). You’re in the mood for scrambled eggs and a burger. But do you go for the breakfast option or order the lunch option? At a diner, you can make it brunch by ordering the eggs and the burger. It may not help your cholesterol level but it will definitely make your stomach happy.
