I took my mother there for mothers day brunch after reading some reviews and was not disappointed. You should note that they do not open for brunch until 11:30, I highly recommend a reservation as there was a wait by 12:30. The AYCD is a good deal, the sangria is quite good, goes down very smoothly. The Bloody Mary's are...

Description: Less is always more. Restaurateur Sara Grizzle (formerly of Redemption Grill and Essex) and Food Network’s award winning chef, Abe Lopez, have teamed up to create a bright new spot in Manhattan’s East Village with the best Tapas ever plus other small dishes. The menu offers a taste of everything and accommodates every food preference, meat eaters and vegans alike. Serving Tapas lets a group mix and mingle. With a great wine list, a good selection of tap and bottled beers, as well as some of the most interesting cocktails around (try the Ginger Mojito), Poco is the perfect spot for a quick drink and appetizer, dinner, or a place to wind down after a hectic day.
The food is original and fantastic (Mac & Cheese & Lobster) and as well as a good price performer appealing to budgets of any size.
Everyone at Poco looks forward to serving you. Sara, one of the owners, is usually there and stops by each table to meet our guests. See you when you arrive.

We were looking forward to a visit to award winning Chef Abe Lopez' restaurant Poco. The reviews seemed great and the menu looked like comfort based tapas - perfect for a chilly evening. We made our reservations and off we went. We're always excited to be in the East Village. The neighborhood is so vibrant and still retains its edge....

Omg. Not only is this an exceptional boozy brunch, you dont even realize the AYCD drinks are not *that* good because the food is marvelous! $24.95 for your choice of a fairly good selection of menu items and AYCD Mimosas, Bloodys or Sangria (white or red). Sign me up.
Lobster Mac is TDF and I would definitely give a nod...

Love this place for a Good unlimted drunk brunch with friends. The lobster mac & cheese is so so good. They have a great vibe, can be very loud but is a cool stop in the East Village to enjoy a great day with friends. A must try we come here a few times a year. Can't wait to return.

Have come here quite a few times for brunch only. $25 brunch with unlimited drinks is a great value for the city. Their lobster mac and cheese is simply divine, every time I go, I *try* to order something else, I tell myself I'll order something else, but I always end up getting the lobster mac and cheese (and my...

I discovered this place last year and on the advice of friends and went for brunch. Poco's is one of the many all day mimosa brunch places in NYC and while you are guaranteed to leave a little tipsy, this place is not to be missed: amazing atmosphere, great food and if you are lucky the place will break into...

We went to Poco very last minute. We had not been to the East Village and we decided it would be fun to eat in that area. We also had never been to a tapas style restaurant. It was super good! We ordered the lobster mac and cheese, flank steak, a shrimp dish, and a lobster roll. There were 3...

Enjoyed a recommendation from a local native to the area. Was suprised at how good the food was. Service was solid and menu was great! Enjoyed our waiter and the semi private area downstairs. Will definitely be back on my next trip to NYC.
