I am no stranger to a boozy brunch.  Some may say that I am a bit of an aficionado.  Between the amazing unlimited sangria of Calle Ocho and the monster glasses of mimosa at Uptown Bar & Grill, I’ve had a chance to survey some of the best options the city has.  However, one of the most amazing spots isn’t even in Manhattan but a stone’s throw away.

So last month when I had a birthday, an offertory trip to The Garden City Hotel’s Sunday extravaganza was definitely in order.  This all inclusive wonderland of unlimited champagne and cake pops. It does run a bit on the pricy side but if you’re celebrating a special occasion it is definitely worth it.

I piled as much on my plate as humanly possible.  Mingling cuisines that should not share the same space anywhere from sushi to hummus and succulent prime rib.  This brunch buffet has it all.

 
What would a Sunday morning be without a rainbow cookie?
  The self serve chocolate fountain with a wide array of options to dip and enjoy!A tuna slider. The mini brioche buns were a delectable treat.
     
And of course champagne!  They refill repeatedly and when your glass is nearing completion.  There is no begging for that extra serving of boozy brunch goodness here.
  
And finally after two hours of unlimited delicacies I was brought an elegant plate of bite sized dessert options with a massive sparkler. Full, satisfied, I reemerged into the world a happy clam. If you’re looking to impress that special someone or just need a place to show off to mom and dad this is a definite must. Located in my hometown of Garden City, New York it’s worth the trip….just reserve time for an afternoon lie down after all of that champagne.
