I was introduced to the concept of long Sunday brunches in New York City—home to some of the country’s most enthusiastic brunchers! This unique-in-the-week meal is enjoyed far from the rigors of strict weekday schedules, and that fact alone makes it feel special.

Brunch can be herbal tea (or mimosas) and soft-scrambled eggs at eleven o’clock in the morning; an array of fresh juices with a spiral-cut ham, buttermilk biscuits, and a crumbly-sweet coffee cake at high noon; or a buffet with best friends bringing their favorite dishes that lasts all afternoon. This all-American invention showcases what we do best: innovation mixed with classicism wrapped in a comfortable, inclusive sensibility.
