Just got an email today that Restaurant.com is again offering $25 restaurant gift certificates for only $2. I’m usually of the mindset that when something seems too good to be true, it is. So, when Restaurant.com had a similar offer back in December, I decided to test the waters and snatched up $25 gift certificates to each [...]

But on Saturday, December 26th Public and Double Crown will host boozy Boxing Day brunches to benefit the Children of Bellevue. In keeping with Boxing Day’s charitable aims, both restaurants will treat guests who donate an unwrapped children’s book [...]

There are all-you-can-drink brunches and then there’s Poco’s legendary all-you-can-drink brunch. Back in May, we started hearing lots of good things about Poco (33 Avenue B b/t 2nd and 3rd St.), a new Spanish-inspired East Village tapas spot that opened earlier this year. So, we decided to head over there on a Sunday with friends Ricki [...]

We’ve been hearing some pretty amazing things about what Chef Roberto Patriarca has been doing at Spina, the relatively new fresh pasta mecca at Ave B and E. 11th St in the E. Village. But it’s not just the artisanal pastas on the dinner menu that have been catching people’s attention, it’s also their innovative brunch (Sat-Sun [...]

We headed over to Barbounia (Park Ave. South @ 20th Street) on Sunday with our friend Nathania to check out the Mediterranean brunch with the “never ending flow of champagne cocktails for an extra $12!!!” The dining room was packed at 1:30 pm, so we were glad that we called in advance and that they [...]

We decided to try out the boozy brunch at Maracas (at 33 Greenwich Avenue btw 6th Ave. & 7th Ave.) a few Sunday’s ago with our friends Amber and Guy. Now, you know you are in for quite a Sunday-Funday when the first thing out of the waiter’s mouth is “Are you drinkers?” Our reply: “Why, yes we are.” [...]

This weekend we were fortunate enough (or unfortunate if you’re our liver) to hit up two different all-you-can-drink (AYCD) brunch spots. We found ourselves in Murray Hill on a wet Saturday afternoon in need of a bite to eat and a drink before seeing The Hangover at the Kips Bay movie theaters. We had heard [...]

For those of you looking to tie one on with the old man on Father’s Day, take the SOB to S.O.B.’s (Varick @ W. Houston) where they’re throwing a Brazilian-style Bossa Nova Brunch with an All-You-Can-Drink Sangria bar. To tell you the truth, my Dad would probably kick my ass if I took him for [...]
