    This is a top tier drag brunch in NYC. Izzy and Skye are so much fun and are incredibly talented. We go any chance we get, and they never disappoint. We’ll definitely be back again soon!

    Steak and eggs with delicious and on point with seasoning. Breakfast pizza was a very decent size and very tasty. I was confused with the brunch price however, I read it included drinks but when my check came it had a separate amount for the unlimited and for the food.

    Hi Andrea! Thank you for your great review and kind words. Apologies for any confusion regarding the pricing, we do charge for the food and unlimited drinks separately depending on what drinks package you order and for those guests who don't drink. We try to make this clear on the menu and in the server's rundown but we appreciate the feedback and will take it onboard. We hope to see you back again for brunch soon!

    Fantastic time at the Drag Brunch with Inita D & Zeta Jones. They were funny, had great chemistry and slayed the house down boots Mama in their Beyonce x Gaga performances. Perfect end to NYC trip from London

    I cannot speak highly enough about this drag brunch. I’ve been to the drag brunch at rise at least five times and every time is a great experience arguably among the best in the country. The reason why it is so good it’s because it’s organized. Everything from online booking, to having singles, ready to make change, to the drink packages and handling of the bill was flawless. Our server Xavier was so patient and taken care of our large party. The other thing that makes this drag run different is that the Queens are theatrical and actually interact with you. It is not simply lip sync to collect dollars they really bust their (insert choice word here) Will definitely be back!!!

    We loved this brunch! I brought my brother and a couple of friends in town because of the guest drag performer and we had such a blast! The staff were very attentive and the food was excellent. This wasn’t my first brunch at Rise, so it’s awesome that it’s continued to be even more fun every time! Would definitely recommend it!
