Lucky Cheng's Drag Brunch at Green Fig

Lucky Cheng's — New York's original drag dinner institution — throws its bottomless weekend drag brunch at Green Fig, four floors above Times Square.

Before drag brunch was everywhere, there was Lucky Cheng's — the raucous cabaret that taught New York to eat eggs mid-lip-sync — and its Hell's Kitchen residency keeps the formula intact: bottomless pours, a veteran cast, and a show that steamrolls any table pretending to be shy. It's a short walk from Times Square, the perfect tourist-plus-locals collision. If you want drag brunch with three decades of institutional mischief behind it, this is the OG.

What to expect

A dining room that becomes a runway: queens work the aisles, pull guests into numbers, and roast birthdays mercilessly. The bottomless format keeps the room loud and loose from the first seating. Come with a group, an appetite and zero dignity to protect.

Common questions

Is this the original Lucky Cheng's?

It's the same institution — the legendary East Village-born drag cabaret now runs its weekend drag brunch at Green Fig inside YOTEL in Hell's Kitchen.

Is the brunch bottomless?

Yes — bottomless drink options come with the brunch, which is a big part of why the room gets rowdy fast.
