Bronx Restaurant and Lounge for Weekend Brunch
Local cuisine meets daytime service in a relaxed setting, with an evening stop built into the same visit.
🍽️ Local Plates, Late Fridays
Step in brings local cuisine and a relaxed lounge setting to 1309 Metropolitan Avenue in the Bronx. Weekend brunch gives the daytime service its own identity, adding a reason to settle in while the lounge format carries the plan toward drinks and a longer meal.
Monday through Thursday run from 1 PM to 11 PM, Friday stays open until midnight after a 1 PM start, and Saturday and Sunday run from noon to 11 PM. That later Friday close leaves room for a dinner that turns into a drink at the bar.
The kitchen leans American, with bar and grill plates at the center of the menu, while the lounge identity keeps the stop flexible for a meal, a round, or a weekend gathering. Some regulars have been returning for more than a decade, and the room still serves both a brunch table and an evening crowd with the same easy pace.
