Alphabet City's home
Your home away from home
Poco was built for one purpose—to be home away from home for the local residents of NYC's most unique, authentic neighborhood—Alphabet City. Our goal is to make everyone feel welcome and ensure they have a great dining and social experience.
We've had an incredible run. Over the years, we've been serving the neighborhood our legendary brunch and tapas style dinner. Word got out and people from faraway places like Yorkville, Hell's Kitchen and Park Slope have been venturing in for our signature dishes including the Lobster Mac and Cheese, the Mushroom Truffle Croquettes and the award winning vegan Smoked Truffle Mac & Cheese. Come and nurse your hangover or just treat yourself by grabbing a bunch of friends and celebrating life with our legendary bottomless brunch. Don’t just take our word for it, look at all the rave reviews our boozy brunch has garnered over the years.
The Spanish inspired tapas menu was created by chef Abe Lopez, winner of the Food Network’s hit show “Chopped”. The menu features a variety of tapas and entrees, expertly crafted for a delicious social dining experience.
We hope to see you soon. And be sure to kick back and relax during our legendary boozy brunch.

Time Out New York review by boozy brunch goer Maria M
After coming to the weekend boozy brunch, I now understand why this place is on every list of best NYC boozy brunch. A group of four of us went on a Friday afternoon (major plus is that this place's weekend brunch includes Friday!) and the place was busy but not too packed. We all got mimosas, which are supposed to only be served for 1.5 hours, but I guess because it wasn't that busy they let us sit there for FOUR hours... and continued to serve us for those four hours. Our waiter (Aron? I can't remember his name after drinking countless mimosas) was super nice and accommodating. Everyone's dishes were great, though mine was only okay. Highly recommend the lobster guac and lobster Mac & cheese. Also the music was on point.
Foursquare review by boozy brunch goer Byron Flores
The lobster Mac and cheese is awesome! $30 for bottomless mimosa, sangria, and a few other options plus an entree. The mimosas weren't strong but still worth the $30. Great atmosphere and music.

Poco's menu is so good, it's worth the $32 for just one and a half hours of unlimited mimosas, bloody marys, and sangria. It'll be a tough decision to choose between the lobster mac, lobster grilled cheese, and French toast. Just a heads up: It's cash only.
