Local chefs deliver the breakfast-lunch goods – like decadent eggs Benedict, brioche French toast, raw bar platters and more – to help extend the AM hours into the afternoon. Below, some Saturday and Sunday spots (and even some every day spots!) where you can unwind with a mimosa and your favorite brunch dishes.
