What: Eggwhite omelet (sauteed spinach instead of fruit). Coffee. Absolutely no booze. Way too “tired*”
This brunch was marked by one very glorious occasion: Miss Patty Pina, soon to be Mrs. Patty Slutsky, picked out her wedding dress! Well in all honesty, she actually picked out TWO wedding dresses, but based on her cost-saving...
#6 Open City
Martin Luther King Day!!!! 3-Day Weekend!!! Monday off!!! But… The CYCLE of Dusty Continues!!! The sun has barely risen on Federal holiday, and we’re already at brunch, a time reserved for families with screaming children, old people who don’t need sleep and people still up from the night before. It is unnatural for us to be there!!! Gina and I have been up for hours, so even...

#4 Circa
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA GARCIA!!!
On a chilly winter morning, twenty-fiveish years ago, Miss Lisa A Garcia sprung from the womb of her mother, only to shout: OMG MOM! WHY THE HELL DO WE LIVE IN TEXAS?!?!?! And THAT is why we went to brunch at Circa on January 15th, to pay our homage to this lovely lady.

What: Avocado and Tomato Omelet with eggwhites, fries instead of homefries. Spicy bloody mary.
Annie’s is somewhere I go a lot, an old standby that I really love. I love it so much that I always get the exact same thing, which is a testament to how truly delicious that one thing is. I love when people ask me, as Cam...
#2 Bermondsey Kitchen
Who: Aniela, Conor, and Dan
Where: London—Southbank
What: Eggs Florentine with two delicious bloody marys
If I’m going to point to the true origin of 100 days of brunch, this would be the moment that the idea was formed. I’ll give full credit to Dan: Why shouldn’t we drink bloody marys every day?!?! Or at least every weekend?!?! It’s 2011!!
Upon arrival in...
#1 Benedict
Benedict. The FIRST brunch of 2011; the one that started it all. After a fuzzy new years eve in Tel Aviv, we arrived the next morning at Benedict to find a long line of cosmopolitan Israelis and the kind of headache that can only be attributed to knock-off sugar free redbull and cheap champagne.
Who: Steve, Dan, and Mel
Where: Tel Aviv—Ben Yahuda Street
What: Splitsville with Dan:...
