Whether brunch is an opportunity to recover from a long night of drinking with a little hair-of-the-dog relief and some greasy food, or if it's just a time to catch up with friends, many locals would agree that it's an essential part of anyone's weekend plans. And since the last brunch heatmap went up about a year ago, it seemed about time to update on all the new boozy breakfast services at some recently opened restaurants around town, with a few mainstay brunch spots thrown in for good measure. As always, hit the tipline if there's a good place we missed.
