Post marathon late lunch (brunch) in the city
Hey guys, I was wondering if I can get some recommendations for cozy brunch spots off the central park area after the NYC marathon this sunday. nothing expensive like norma's but the food has got to be off the charts delicious. I know it's a tall order, but please help! thanks.

If you want to grab something and eat it outside while the marathon runs by, I love the croissants and coffee at Petrossian. If you can get a seat, it's definitely cozy! Or maybe Bouchon Bakery? I think the problem is that if you don't get there early or make a reservation in this neighborhood you'll end up waiting forever and a lot of the good places don't take reservations.
Finally - I'm not sure how much their brunch costs, but Brasserie 9 1/2 in the 9 west 57 street building has a GREAT buffet type selection, and there's guaranteed to be room.

Lots of great recommendations in this thread about UWS brunch.
