While the idea of brunch is tempting to almost anyone, the thought of waking up early enough on a Sunday morning to go eat it is a whole different story. If you're likely to be feeling slightly sub-par after a late night, Lucy's Hat Shop has your remedy. After all, there's no better cure than the hair of the dog that bit you.
Every Sunday at noon, Lucy's Hat Shop opens its Drunken Monkey all you can eat and drink buffet to anyone who dares to keep his or her buzz alive. For only $20, you can spend four hours drinking bottomless mimosas, being your own bartender at the make-your-own Bloody Mary bar and stuffing yourself at the all-you-can-eat brunch buffet. If you still haven't had your fill, you can stay from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m. for the all you can eat dinner buffet and jazz concert.
Sound too good to be true? Well, it gets better. While the food is displayed with a posh flare, Lucy's classic menu options are all delicious. The quesadillas ($9) -- loaded with two kinds of cheese, homemade salsa fresca, sour cream, guacamole and chicken -- are divine, and the grilled chicken sandwich ($7) -- generously layered with spinach, roasted red peppers, red onions, barbeque sauce, bacon, carmelized onions and cheddar cheese -- is juicy enough to make you forget any indiscretions from the night before. A more exotic option is the thai chicken with savory peanut sauce ($14.50), served over a tempting bed of rice and Caribbean vegetables.
The light woodwork inside and the French doors that open out onto the sidewalk on warm days give Lucy's a sunny, relaxing atmosphere that is a perfect way to combat anyone's Sunday morning blues.
