Brunch is the meal with no rules. Perfect for lazy weekends when getting up early isn’t too much of a priority. Meet with friends and family in a cozy eatery and catch up on the happenings of the last week. Maybe getting up early isn’t even an option depending on what you did the night before. In that case brunch is the perfect hangover cure. And being that there are no rules when it comes to lunch you can pick whatever kind of foods you need for refueling – an omelet or poached eggs, salad or an open-face sandwich, you can even get steak! It’s up to you. Below is just a sampling of the eateries and restaurants on Long Island that offer brunch.
