NYC Brunch: Two Hands Restaurant & Bar
Happy Monday everyone! I’m late to put up my post today because well I was too busy binge watching Stranger Things season 2 yesterday when I got home from brunch. I have 3 more episodes to go tonight when I get home from the office and I can’t wait! I hear there’s a big ending? I’ve been staying off Twitter and Facebook because I don’t want to spoil the ending for myself. Have you watched season 2 yet? What are your thoughts??
Anyway today’s post will be short and sweet plus I’ve teamed up with some lovely ladies to host a giveaway. Just keep reading to enter the giveaway below!
I’m always searching for a new brunch spot to go to in the city. There are so many good places to try and you can live here your whole life and never try every single spot. Last week when I was looking for a place to try, I came across Two Hands Restaurant & Bar in Tribeca. I literally searched #nycbrunch on Instagram to find a place. Tell me I’m not the only one who uses Instagram like it’s Google? With all the algorithm changes at least Insta is still good for something!
Two Hands is a cute little Australian restaurant with two locations, a cafe in Nolita and the restaurant I went to in Tribeca. They don’t take reservations so be prepared to wait. However, the wait yesterday wasn’t too long, only about 10 minutes or so, probably because it was a rainy dreary day out. Their menu is full of healthy but delicious eats like a Beet Cured Salmon Bowl, Mushroom Toast, and Smashed Avocado, I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t like avocado, joking.
As much as I love my avocado, I had to try the Smashed Peas with a poached egg on top. It was delicious and a lot more filling than I thought it would be. The poached egg added some creaminess to it and a little more flavor. Honestly, without the poached egg, it would have just been a bowl of peas and that’s not really all that exciting.
I suggest trying their almond milk matcha latte and mimosas of course! What is brunch without a mimosa or two? The matcha latte was the perfect warm pick me up after walking in the pouring rain yesterday!
It was so dark and gloomy here in the city so my pictures are kind of dark. I know blogger fail but hey it happens. Hopefully the rain lets up today and tomorrow is nicer for all the trick or treaters!

Hopefully next weekend gives us better weather here!
This looks like such a fun place to have brunch! I looooove the giveaway prizes, I’m definitely going to enter!
Good luck on the giveaway!!
I love discovering new brunch places and this looks wonderful! PS: I haven’t started with Stranger Things things yet so I am staying away from potential spoilers too!
Haha the ending was good!! Binge watch it before any spoilers ruin it for you.
This looks like a fantastic place to visit for brunch! I dream of being back in NYC… when I am, this is on the list!
Hopefully you can make a trip to NYC soon!
Same!! I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t love avocados either. Thanks for the giveaway!
Good luck with the giveaway! Avocados are life haha.
That latte looks yummy! It was rainy yesterday here in NCtoo. I hung out with a friend and we hit almost every shop downtown. She wanted to stop by Starbucks so I ordered the zombie crap, it was like a green caramel apple. I didn’t take a photo (my blogger fail) but it was raining a cold rain and we were on the go. Hah she hates when I stop to take photos, she’s not a blogger. She doesn’t understand. Mimosas, yesss!!
Everyone definitely doesn’t understand our need to stop & take photos of everything.
We were actually talking about Stranger Things in my class today, because a lot of people watch it. I don’t, but I feel like I might need to jump on the bandwagon and see what I’m missing out on. As for brunch, I’m always down for checking out a new place! I wish I lived closer to New York because I feel like they have such variety up there. I would love to visit an Australian place, because you don’t see them too often!
Jump on the bandwagon ASAP!
The mimosas look amazing. I love that they put them in Marie Antionette glasses – that’s such a fun way to serve them.
The glasses are cute! I kind of want this style for myself now!
That sounds like a nice place! It would be great to try it out the next time we’re at NYC! It’s definitely awesome.
Hopefully next time you come to NYC the weather will be better!
I love using Instagram to search too! The Two Hands Restaurant & Bar looks amazing!
Instagram is almost better than google for looking for restaurants and places to hang out!
I am pretty certain I have eaten here! Does the restroom have a hot pink light in it?
Hm I’m not sure, I didn’t go into the restrooms while I was here
NOW I WANT BRUNCH! Is it the weekend yet?
Haha why can’t brunch just be acceptable every day?
This is so cute! We took a little road trip this weekend!
A road trip sounds like fun!
Wow! This sounds like such a great place!! I will definitely be trying this place!!
The food was tasty here!
My friends love this place. It’s on pur list for me to try out the next time I’m in the city. Glad you enjoyed yourself.
Your friend has a good reason to love it!
This is such a lovely feel-good post!
I love brunch, btw. It’s the perfect combination of breakfast and lunch foods. Yum <3
I definitely want to try this place out!!! I have heard so many great things and it is on my list when I make it to NYC!
This looks like such a great place to have brunch! the Smashed Peas with a poached egg on top sounds so yummy!
I love healthy, yet delicious eats. This sounds like my kind of spot!
It looks like a perfect place for a brunch. If ever I visit NYC. I will definitely try this restaurant and a bar. This is my kind of spot.
I love watching Stranger Things season too. I have just a couple more to go before finishing it. I cannot wait to see season 2. The Two Hands Restaurant & Bar in Tribeca looks like a great place to eat. Also, the Canon Rebel Kit + Kate Spade Giveaway Package sounds amazing.
We haven’t gone to brunch in way too long. Now I want to! Looks like a lovely place to dine.
That’s how I love finding brunch spots too!! I still have a few episodes of Stranger Things 2 and the suspense is crazy 😱
This brunch looks amazing!
