The Brunch Issue

Wake up. Get dressed. It’s time for brunch.

By Editorial May 30, 2014 at 8:35 am

Could you fry an egg in your pajamas and head right back to bed to continue your Netflix marathon of ”Archer”? Of course. But then you’d miss the fun of restaurants in the daylight, when plates become Instagram fodder and ooze with yolky egg and syrup-dripping carbs. Brunch is the meal to book; it’s when, all too easily, Sunday morning mimosas turn into afternoon beers. Wake up. Get dressed. It’s time for brunch.

By Stefanie Gans With Carten Cordell, Lexa Lemieux, Whitney Pipkin, Tim Regan, Warren Rojas & Brendan Spiegel / Art by Mal Jones, Robert Merhaut, Mike Ramm, Aaron Spicer & Jonathan Timmes
