What's for Brunch?

There are about a million different options in New York City for brunch. Long gone are the days when french toast and waffles were your best options. Most restaurants today have dedicated brunch menus and enticing "drink included" specials to lure you in on an otherwise sleepy Sunday morning. Here are some of my most recent brunch discoveries that are worth noting.

Rye House

On Kentucky Derby Saturday, I took a break from the LUCKYRICE Festival and grabbed some mint juleps and southern comfort food with B and C. The Rye House was celebrating with a special $10 mint julep menu ($5 refills and you get to keep the steel cup & stir-straw). I stuck to the Smoked Julep, which consisted of Buffalo Trace Bourbon Whiskey, Cinnamon Bark Syrup, and Lapsong Souchong Infused Black Strap Rum. We also ordered a huge bucket of fried chicken; it was absolutely AMAZING. The meat was juicy and well-seasoned, while the skin was thin and crispy. If we went again, I probably would've pulled a Cartman. (Just kidding!)
