Things to do for August 12, 2021

RUSS & DAUGHTERS’ PASTRAMI LOX

It takes a legend to feed a legend. So it came to pass that you had Russ & Daughters deliver their smoked, pastrami-rubbed lox to your brunch party one morning. A tale that will be passed on by your guests and repeated by generations to come.

CALL IT “SMOOTH SAILING”

Fresh pineapple. A strip of ginger. A perfect pour of GREY GOOSE Vodka. And your choice of soda water or ginger ale. Plus it’s called “Smooth Sailing” and comes in a wine glass. What is not to love about this drink? Find the full recipe here. 

AN EVERYTHING BAGEL THAT FEEDS 12

THE ULTIMATE VODKA-AND-SODA

You’ve never had a vodka-and-soda like this. That’s because you’re cracking a bottle of strawberry-and-lemongrass infused GREY GOOSE Essences before adding the soda. Same refreshment. Whole different flavor. See the full recipe here. 

A BACON LOVER’S GIFT CRATE

The only thing better than bacon? More bacon. That’s the idea behind iGourmet’s Bacon Lovers Gift box, which includes juniper-smoked bacon, Peter Luger’s extra thick bacon, Virginia bacon, Kentucky bacon, bacon-dip, bacon chocolate bars… and well, more bacon. We just got tired.

CURDBOX’S CURATED CHEESE SUBSCRIPTION

Your brunch can’t live on bacon alone. No, it also needs cheese. For that, you’ll get CurdBox's monthly subscription to three fine cheeses, three gourmet food products, and other extras that brunches thrive on, like themed playlists, podcasts, and wine-pairing suggestions.

MAPLE-GLAZED CROISSANT DONUTS

Maple-glazed croissant donuts. That's probably all we need to say right there. But we will tell you this sweet-savory ode to everything great in life comes in a nine-pack from New York City's Donut Pub, straight to you. Just, y'know, to twist your arm on this whole insanely indulgent croissant donut thing.
