The Top Spots for The Best Brunch in Chelsea

 

There has always been a decadent allure to the idea of brunch. The mid-morning meal that became a phenomenon holds connotations of lazy Sundays that are only necessary as the result of vibrant and late Saturday nights. Indeed, one of the very first references to the word was published in the London journal Hunter’s Weekly in 1895, with the author delightfully describing brunch as “Cheerful, sociable and inciting…for Saturday night carousers”.
