"The restaurant's first-ever brunch service will include a Big Mac mantou (a steamed bun with cheesy beef, onions, kimchi, and Russian dressing), a McRib bao (a bao bun made with pork rib and Chinese barbecue sauce), a Filet o Fish bao (fried fish on a bao with American cheese), and more whimsical fast food creations. There will also be drag performances and cocktails."
"With locations in the South End, Cambridge, and Brookline, this tapas bar with a very good wine list has become a dependable and boisterous favorite brunch spot. All three locations will open at noon on New Year's Day, serving plates of olive oil pancakes, smoked salmon montadito, double-cut bacon, and more that you can wash down with a Barcelona bloody, mimosa, or Flor de Sal mocktails if you're diving right into dry January."
