Brunch joined mealtime vocabulary in 1895, after British author Guy Beringer made a public plea for a mid-morning Sunday feast. Still today, its actual origins are murky: claims of its birth come from all corners, from the Catholics\u2019 post-church meals and southern traditions of churchgoing and hunting to New York, where brunch seems the quintessential activity for both locals and travelers. The folklore may not give us a straight answer, but one thing\u2019s clear: New Yorkers know how to brunch. In Brooklyn, Manhattan\u2019s cool younger sibling, the tables are set with something memorable to offer every patron.<\/span><\/p>\n

Juliette<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Juliette

Williamsburg is in itself a trip around the world. Start the weekend off in the French tradition of <\/span>Juliette<\/a><\/span>, which sweeps you up in romance at first sight. The bistro–adorned with hanging potted plants, a skylight, and a sweet indoor nook–satisfies with joie de vivre <\/i>and Bloody Marys. Order their crispy duck confit or eggs \u201cforesti\u00e8re\u201d for a delicious discovery of Juliette\u2019s language. French toast comes with a roasted banana twist, a croque monsieur is served on homemade brioche, and one bite of anything will right your world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maman Greenpoint<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Maman

Maman Greenpoint\u00a0<\/span>is as shabby-chic as they come, with emphasis on the chic when it comes to their food. It\u2019s sheer whimsy as swing-like tables are strung to the ceiling, fine blue and white china complements sections wallpapered in a similarly floral design, and a pastry assortment for two graces the table in warm, flaky measures.\u00a0<\/span>M<\/span>aman brings to life childhood favorites, both savory and sweet, from the south of France and North America. The dishes focus on the\u00a0<\/span>highest quality, locally sourced ingredients and highlight twists on classic french technique.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fall more in love as buttermilk pancakes with whipped ricotta, quiche lorraine, and mama\u2019s breakfast sandwich (complete with bourbon bacon jam) catch your rumbling stomach\u2019s eye. It\u2019s almost so beautiful you won\u2019t want to disturb the presentation–not without snapping a photo for Instagram, of course.<\/span><\/p>\n
