Last summer, Greenpointers could be seen peering into the windows of Naked Dog, trying to guess when it would open. The restaurant been serving up delicious pastas to the neighborhood for several months now, but they’ve just started serving brunch, and it’s definitely crave-worthy and a little different from your usual brunch.
Owner Cecilia Di Paola is a wonderful, welcoming host and the kind of person you want to sit at the bar and chat…

Why your support matters
Are you serious?!?! Pasta and sandwiches are NOT brunch. Greenpoint is lacking in brunch places. It is also lacking in vegetarian and vegan friendly brunch places and now dinner places. pasta is not an acceptable vegetarian option and it is NOT brunch.
Greenpoint is not filled with crap Italian restaurants, hotels, hotels in progress, lux condos, lux condos in progress, over priced bars, garbage, and possibly the worst smells in the world.
Stop writing about Italian places, over priced bars, lists of places than have been in this area for 3-20 years and calling them new and get with the program!
Greenpoint is lacking in brunch places??? Are you joking??, we have a brunch place on every block here..also tons of rests that serve veggie and also vegan food.
While one can lament the lower price places to eat, I agree…but to say we have no brunch or veggie places here is just not true…
Recommend the uova in purgatorio. Yes, Italian and a wonderful spot.
Vegans be angry yo.
