Welcome to Essex, one of the Lower East Side’s first destination restaurants as well as a local favorite. Famous for the original Bottomless Brunch Party, our top-rated brunch is regularly included in lists of Best Brunches in New York City. Guided by Chef Nicholas Lomba, a veteran of NYC and Chicago’s top Michelin Three-Starred restaurants, our New American Dinner Menu showcases seasonal and locally-sourced ingredients, with expansive vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options.

After dinner Essex transforms into the ultimate nightlife destination, hosting massive late-night parties on weekends that promise unforgettable moments and electrifying ambiance. For those seeking a midweek escape, our legendary Happy Hour features specials on cocktails and bar bites as well as $1.50 Oysters.
