9 Brunch Options To Get You Out Of The House On New Year’s Day

Avatar

Because it’s going to cost you an arm and a leg to get a seat anywhere good this New Year’s Eve, because town is ALWAYS way too busy and because some of us hate to wake up with sore heads on the first day of the new year, we decided to investigate some of the best New Year’s Day brunch options in town (so our heads can be sore on Jan 2nd instead).

And because it’s a Friday…and on Fridays, we do brunch.
