A final alternative worth considering is aRoqa, another Michelin-recognized restaurant, this one trading in small plates. Despite its Indian provenance, the brunch menu crosses cultural lines with the likes of habanero cheese toast — tri-cheese and tri-pepper with habanero chili on a French baguette — and butter chicken mac & cheese: cavatappi in a butter sauce studded with chunks of habanero chicken. The bun omelet, a dish sold by vendors on the streets of Bombay, is India’s answer to the bodega-style breakfast sandwich popular here at home. aRoqa, 206 Ninth Ave (at 23rd St.), 646-678-5471.
