 LOVE ELIXIRSBrunch Cocktails at Hearty
We're all for exotic aphrodisiacs, but rhino horn presents so many issues (potential bedroom messes, for
one). So rely on an old standby: booze. Crazy cocktails like the Tuscan French 75 (fennel-infused
gin and bubbly) and Rose Water Sparkler (sparkling Riesling and rose water) are just the thing to
pair with a crepe built for two—though a fork built for two would be kind of cool.
 HEART CLOGGERSBurger Brunch at DMK Burger Bar
Yes, this preset menu of deviled eggs, lobster soup, burgers, truffle fries, a pair of chocolate cupcakes
and (the coup de grâce) a strawberry shake that comes with two straws is really more lunch than
brunch. But they're accepting limited reservations for Sunday (secret word: Aphrodite), so we think
it's well worth blurring the brunch-lunch boundary.
 EX'D OUTShred Your Ex Party at Bar Louie
Ah, new love. You're thinking of moving it to the next level. So first things first: get rid of evidence of
those who came before. Bring those snaps of your respective former suitors to Bar Louie on Sunday. They're
offering a two-for-one brunch deal, and if you allow them to shred a picture of that ex, you'll score a free
cocktail. See, everyone wins.
 AMORE, UNLIMITEDProsecco Brunch at Tocco
Italians: fine people, fine beverages, heroic when it comes to romantic brunches. Tocco, that
pink-and-black, Milan-by-way-of-Wicker Park spot proves that they have a sparkle too: they're debuting a new
brunch featuring Nutella and marmalade crepes, ricotta and eggs, and Italian sausage omelets. And to wash it
down, you'll finally have access to their fine prosecco collection before dinner.
