Where to Eat New Year's Day Brunch

Sunday brunch in Somerville will be particularly festive this week.

 

Still looking for somewhere to eat a late morning meal New Year's Day to soak up the extravagance of the night before? 

Many of the restaurants that are having a brunch are also throwing a New Year's Eve party

Foundry on Elm

The menu includes French beignets, a caesar salad, eggs benedict and a roasted mushroom sandwich. Brunch is served between 10:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.

Ball Square Cafe

The diner isn't serving any New Year's Day specials, but it's still one of the most popular places to go for breakfast in the city. The menu, served from 6:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., includes Belgian waffles, homemade muffins and scones, several types of eggs benedict and omlettes, as well as other dishes.

The Neighborhood Restaurant

If abundance is the tone you want to set for the New Year, start off with a first meal at this Union Square breakfast spot known for its legendary large portions. From 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., they'll have the usual heaping plates of eggs n' such and Portuguese breakfast treats (like chorizo with your eggs?), as well as well as weekend specials to choose from.

Reservations: Hope for good weather as you stand in line outside, because no reservations are taken.

I've wanted to eat there before, but every time I pass by on a Saturday or Sunday, there's a line of people out the door. Is it worth waiting, and what are some of their best dishes?

They have really great omelets. I love their Moroccan Eggs and also their Whole Wheat Pancakes. . The lines go fairly quickly. They give you a cup of coffee to drink while you wait which is a nice touch. I would say it's worth it.
