Let’s Do Brunch, Really

Your First Brunch of 2015: The Options

It’s super-important you start 2015 the right way. Like with brunch. Maybe one in your pajamas or drinking bacon-washed-rye Bloody Marys. You can do that. Call it a resolu... nah, don’t call it anything.

Stella Barra
THE PAJAMA BRUNCH

Stella Barra

You require: A place you can make after crawling out of bed with minimal grooming.
You’ll receive: Endless Bloody Marys at Stella Barra’s pajama brunch. And think of all that time you saved not looking for pants.

Jan 1, 11am-4pm, Stella Barra, 2000 Main St, Santa Monica, 310-396-9250, and 6372 W Sunset Blvd, Hollywood, 323-301-4001

Blue Plate Oysterette
THE SHELLFISH BRUNCH

Blue Plate Oysterette

You require: Morning seafood. Not so weird, considering the things you ingested earlier this morning.
You’ll receive: Crab cake benedict, an oyster-loaded Hangtown fry, mimosas and sangria at Blue Plate Oysterette. It could help.

Petty Cash Taqueria
THE (VERY) BOOZY BRUNCH

Petty Cash Taqueria

You require: A way to just... keep it going.
You’ll receive: What they’re calling Bartender’s Brunch at Petty Cash, with hourly champagne toasts, a DJ, cocktail specials, dominoes and shuffleboard. If you can handle it.

DeSano Pizza Bakery
THE GAME-DAY BRUNCH

DeSano Pizza Bakery

You require: Beer, pizza and football. Obviously.
You’ll receive: Egg, bacon and sausage pizza with a cold beer at DeSano. Which is showing all the day’s games. Nailed it.

Ray’s & Stark Bar
THE HANGOVER BRUNCH

Ray’s & Stark Bar

You require: Something heavy to eat. With some hair of the dog, of course.
You’ll receive: Dishes like duck confit chilaquiles, and shrimp and grits with bacon-washed-rye Bloody Marys at Ray’s. Look, it’s what you need right now.
