Five Points Has Better Churros Than Spain

Five Points NoHo
31 Great Jones Street, New York, NY 10012

A lovely brunch spot with a modern garden feel from the potted plants lining the walls and a carved log as a garden trough running through the restaurant. We started with churros dipped in hot chocolate. The chocolate was not as thick and dense as the warmed cocoa my family and I had in Madrid, so it did not serve dipping purposes, though the taste and consistency were perfect for regular American hot-choclate. The churros, however, were better than those we had in Spain, which were harder and more oily. By contrast, the Five Points churros resembled hot, fresh doughnuts rolled in cinnamon and sugar.

The main meals were well plated and tasteful. The stuffed french toast stood tall as the favorite dish. A pitcher of mimosas and helpful waiters made for a pleasant brunch. All was delicious, and we plan to return for the Monday evening $24 lobster special!
