Hungry for brunch near The Modern? Look no further, we’ve got you covered (hopefully in maple syrup). Here are three incredible brunch spots to check out near The Modern. 

Patisserie Florentine

Located at 1347 16th Street in Fort Lee, Patisserie Florentine may be the new kid in town in terms of the best brunch spots in town but it is also already well regarded as one of the best. 

Offering approachable, French-inspired fare made with local ingredients when possible, Patisserie Florentine aims to serve the feelings and flavors of France to Fort Lee by way of an inviting bistro that’s  both rustic and contemporary as well as comfortable and inviting.
