Fashionista invited me to brunch at Essex with her friend Ms. Q. Despite having weekends off for almost five months, I can only count on one hand the number of times I've been out for a Sunday brunch. What's up with that? Last Sunday I had brunch overlooking the golf course at the Greenwich Country Club after my friend’s wedding, but that doesn’t count; the weekend before that I was in Lake George with Hawkeye and we skipped brunch for a drive-thru snack at McDonald’s; the weekend before that I had BermudaBabe’s bridal shower in Greenwich filled with gifts, flowers and mimosas; the weekend before that I had the bachelorette extravaganza...

Overdone eggs at Essex, a light Serfina dinner & some cupcakes to top it off
Some of us got together to go with Jess to Essex to start off our birthday celebration. I’ve been to Essex for brunch before and loved it, but I went this weekend and was fairly disappointed. The pancakes were still as good as ever but they just didn’t do the eggs well. The kitchen staff should’ve paid more attention to our eggs. Eggs, to me, are practically the most essential part to brunch- next to mimosas and bellinis that is. I’ve always been drawn to this place due to it’s high ceilings and the skylight that allows ample daylight to stream through. Also, brunch for $15 with 3 brunchtails [brunch cocktails] in no way, shape, or form, a bad deal.

More bbq, brunch at essex, boba, and thai-nam lunch
Since it’s been a while since my last post… this is probably going to be quite lengthly. I’m sure it will entertain those of you who are currently reading this at work. Let me just start off by confessing that it’s been a very big foodie 4 day weekend and some foodings were not documented. [Hey, I didn’t know that lunch with mama in c-town would be so yummerful].

We find ourselves going to the Lower East Side every time we get together with friends whether it's for dinner, drinks or even brunch! A few weeks back I got a taste of the best brunch deal in town at this trendy Latin-Jewish place called Essex which turns into a nightclub after the sun goes down. Their $14 brunch special runs from 11:30am to 4:30pm on the weekends and includes one dish, 3 blood marys, screwdrivers or mimosas and as much coffee or tea that you can stomach.
