Sojourn excels in various roles, all under one impressive umbrella, excellence. From brunch to happy hour and intimate dinner dates, Sojourn stands out as one of the best Upper East Side restaurants. Brunch, priced reasonably at $30, offers bottomless mimosas, bloody marys, or sangrias with an entree purchase.

Happy hour, Monday through Friday from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM, features $7 glasses of wine and tempting $8 appetizers. The ambiance for a dinner date is unparalleled, with a charming copper-wrapped bar, flickering candles, and warm wood tones. Don’t forget to save room for the divine cheesecake. Sojourn truly excels in every dining scenario.
