These Things Make Brunch Better

Brunch. It’s serious business in this town. And with all of the upstanding new dining establishments throwing their hat into the ring on a seemingly weekly basis, well, it’s best you go into this prepared. With these five things. Brunch is a battlefield.

FOR LAST NIGHT’S TRANSGRESSIONS

Military-Grade Sunglasses, of Course

This is: A pair of chrome aviators originally built for the US military. Each pair goes through 200 production stages before getting onto your face. Officially, that’s a lot.
Which is good for: Deflecting questions about the previous evening’s activities. Oh, and the whole UV thing.

FOR SHADE

Because You’re Going to Need a Hat

This is: A white Panama hat that’s been handmade in Ecuador from toquilla straw.
Which is good for: The moment someone suggests taking the table outside. The one directly under a 28-million-degree entity called the sun.

FOR FORTIFICATION

It’s Like Coffee. But Better.

This is: The JugoFresh crew’s new line of drinks using Bulletproof Coffee beans, matcha green tea and medium-chain triglyceride oil.
Which is good for: Boosting the functioning of a little thing called “the brain.” Or how you’ll counteract the infamous bottomless-Bloody-Mary’s effect.

FOR CURB APPEAL

This App Will Help You Park

This is: An app that finds and books your parking space in advance.
Which is good for: Buying you more time to spend with your chicken and waffles. These things can’t be rushed.

FOR THE MORNING AFTER

Your Hangover Slayer Has Arrived

This is: An IV. But not just any IV. One that someone will bring to your house filled with all of the life-restoring vitamins necessary to get you past the worst of your hangover.
Which is good for: Doing it all over again, naturally.
