This weekend was like any other weekend. Kyle and I went on our 4 mile run then we counteracted our morning run with tons of delicious yummy calories at brunch. But we’re not just talking your basic eggs and bacon brunch….we’re talking the All-You-Can-Drink brunch. Now everyone knows brunch is a staple in New York culture, but the All-You-Can-Drink Brunch has slowly become a way of life. It’s an opportunity to gather your closest friends, chat it up, eat Eggs Benedict, all the while fisting endless goblet-sized mimosas.
This weekend we decided to branch out from our normal brunch spots and tried La Carbonara (located on 14th Street and 7th Avenue). This little Italian comfort-food restaurant is adorable and has very something for everyone. Did I mention it's very affordable and delicious? To be honest, most of the time, I find myself sacrificing the quality of the food for the drink special, but not at La Carbonara. The restaurant was quaint, the menu was extensive, the food was delicious and the drinks were abundant. The entrees ranged from $7.95-$12.95 and the drink special was $15 for unlimited Mimosas, Screw Drivers and Bloody Marys.
Upon arrival, I sighed with relief when the hostess had given us the back room. To break it down for you: 9 people + hours of endless drinks = LOUD!!! At the height of brunch, the hostess made a terrible mistake and sat a party of 5 in the same room with us. We all knew they would not stand a chance. After 20 minutes of censored conversation (well sort of…), the party asked to be moved out to the regular dining room.
Once the drinks started pouring, we started roaring.
