Brunch, My Favorite Meal of the Day
9:09 AMBrunch. Is there a lovelier word in the English language? Didn't think so. Sweet or savory, hot or cold, brunch is whatever you need it to be. In my opinion, there is nothing better than waking up on a Saturday or Sunday morning, having a nice snuggle under the covers, and then starting your day off maybe a little later than usual with a great meal.
I want to share my two favorite brunch spots. These places are in complete opposite locations. One in a big city, the other in a small town. Despite the geographical differences, they serve the best brunch I've ever had.
Let's start off with the big city brunch. Located in the financial district in New York City, 121 Fulton Street has an excellent brunch menu. My personal favorite dish is the 2 egg omelet with bacon, mushrooms, and American cheese. It comes with breakfast potatoes, toast, and a small salad. The serving size is so big I usually have trouble cleaning my plate. Some other yummy items include the Fulton Scramble and the breakfast burrito. If you're in the mood for something sweet, I'd recommend the Banana French Toast.
What's brunch without some mimosas? 121 Fulton Street has a bottomless brunch option. For $25 you can enjoy unlimited Bloody Marys, Mimosas, or Screwdrivers.
121 Fulton is also great for large groups and very accommodating. Despite it being a busy Saturday morning, they had no problem setting up a large table in the side room for about 20 sorority alumnae.
My other favorite brunch spot is located in Williamsport, PA. The Sawhorse Cafe is located right across the street from Lycoming College at 303 Washington Boulevard. The menu changes every week and uses local fresh ingredients in all their recipes. If it's in season, you can bet the Sawhorse is using it to create delicious and wholesome meals.
The Sawhorse is a pretty busy place on the weekends with college students, families, and residents of Williamsport coming in for breakfast, lunch, brunch, or a quick latte. My favorite time to go is on a weekday morning. It's much less busy and I always brought my laptop to get some school work done while I enjoyed my meal and chai tea latte. Another amazing part of The Sawhorse Cafe is the decor. The restaurant is filled with art from local artists and is always changing.
Despite the changing weekly menu, there are some items they always ready to go. One of their staples is The Classic. The Classic is made of two eggs made anyway, a choice of bacon, sausage or ham, potatoes, and toast with an incredible jam on the side. Another regular item is the Beaver Run Breakfast Sandwich, which is my boyfriend's go-to item on the menu.
