Living in NY, the best meal of the week is undoubtedly…SUNDAY BRUNCH. Drink specials, good grub, and catch-ups with friends. Take note: brunch in NY isn’t limited to “brunch hours.” It lasts til about 4pm, and even 8pm at some places. Can we say day-rage? Sunday in NY is the ultimate FUNDAY.
After an emotionally draining trip home to LA for my grandmother’s wake and funeral, I returned yesterday morning feeling like sh*t, to say the least. I wasn’t happy to be back at all as I felt the necessary fam time was cut short. But alas, the fantastic Mr. L suggested we hit Essex for brunch and the Jets/Colts game. As soon as we sat down, I had a smile on my face and was feeling like I was home again. Brunch & football…don’t mind if I do!
People, Essex is the TRUTH. $18 for some slammin’ food and unlimited mimosas, screwdrivers, or bloody marys. To give you an idea of their menu, we had the baked eggs over crispy ham w/ home fries and greens, as well as smoked salmon over potato pancakes with greens and scrambled eggs. YOWZA. I don’t have pictures of anything as I was a little dazed, but I’ll snap some next time!
