Brunch is the New Party Night… During the Day
Everyone’s favorite meal-that’s-two-meals has always been . Linner? Uh uh. Brinner, definitely not. So it’s no surprise that this classic two-for-one is now becoming a triple threat. Yes, that’s right, is now showing Friday night how to party. It’s no longer just a time for homefries and maybe a pint-sized mimosa. It’s a rager with Eggs Benedict, Bloody Marys, DJs, and even go-go dancers if you venture to the horror that is Sunday in the meatpacking district.
If you aren’t in a major metropolitan area, however, you can still get poppin’. All you need is a spatula, a few groceries, a lot of booze, an epic playlist, and, of course, great friends. Merkato 55? Hudson Terrace? The Gansevoort? They’ll have nothing on your , except maybe doormen. Well, that and the rooftop pool with accompanying aspiring models.
