There are lots of reasons to love Sunday brunch. Here are my top 3.
- It’s a relaxing way to catch up with friends and family. Somehow Sunday brunch doesn’t feel like others meals. Even the name tells you it’s something different. The vibe, timing and simplicity all make it the perfect environment to take a deep breath and unwind. Brunch has become a phenomena. Yes, it’s a real thing. You can share details of your week, the date details from the night before or what you’re dealing with the week ahead. My friends and I combine Sunday brunch with a long walk.

- There’s something for everyone to eat. Even the pickiest eater can find something at brunch. Most brunches either have a buffet and/or special menu. I am one of those picky eaters and what I like about brunch is that I can try a little taste of things I normally wouldn’t try. If I eat something I don’t like, I can return to one of my favorites. Everything from custom omelettes, freshly cut roast beef and hand made breads and waffles. That combination of breakfast and lunch is just a natural winner. Some people love brunch and the eclectic menu choices so much that they travel from restaurant to restaurant seeking new amazing delicacies. Brunch is serious business – financially and emotionally.

- Sunday Brunch is a nice way to wind down and gear up for the week ahead. A well timed Sunday brunch can convert your Sunday into a sweet, simple day. Typically hours run from 10-2. Just enough time to sleep in, work out or get your laundry done prior to meeting up with your favorite people. The combo meal saves time, can save money and could be your only formal meal for the day. The vibe is super chill and encourages you to linger. There are whole music soundtracks and radio stations dedicated to brunch. Pandora alone has 4 brunch options. If brunches become a part of you’re weekly schedule you get into a comforting cycle.
