Best Boozy Brunches In Brooklyn
Brunch is a staple across New York City. Brooklyn restaurants have increasingly started offering mimosas, eggs benedict and buttermilk pancakes on the weekends. But the true brunch gems go the extra mile, offering bottomless drinks. Check out these top-notch boozy brunches in Brooklyn. By Adrienne Smith.

The Caribbean-inspired Williamsburg restaurant Battery Harris recently started offering a bottomless brunch from noon to 4:00 p.m. each weekend. Grab a seat on the roomy patio or sunny indoor space and dig into entrees like oxtail hash or the Caribbean breakfast (warm coconut bread with jerk sausage gravy and scrambled eggs). The mimosas and Bloody Marys are unlimited for a strict two hours, but the frozen dark and stormy ($10) is worth paying extra for.
