The West Village has decided it's a village, which is a fun thing to believe when your coffee costs what it costs and there's a three-hour wait for eggs on Saturday. Brunch here is practically a religion, and yet plenty of the spots with the longest lines still treat gluten-free as an afterthought, which is a choice when your menu is mostly toast and pancakes. The places on this list actually handle it well. Start with the gluten-free pastries at Delice & Sarrasin, or head to Banter NYC for gluten-free bread and fried food worth waiting for. For more, see all of West Village or check the citywide breakfast list and SoHo's brunch picks.
