I love going to brunch.

Going to brunch at least once during the weekend is the perfect signal that we are in the weekend and it is the perfect time to unwind and just relax.

I personally think brunch dates are the best dates, both romantic or platonic, because it doesn't have as much pressure or implication as a dinner date and there is plenty of time for you to continue about your day afterwards.

My favorite thing about going to brunch is the conversation.

Something about a mimosa that really gets the brain activated to truly have some of the most enriching and thought-provoking conversations.

And by thought-provoking conversations, I really mean its time to spill the tea.

Today was a surprisingly warm day in New York City and I met up with a friend in Brooklyn and we caught up, laughed, and just shared what we hope for in this new year.

I also learned so many fun and interesting things about her which is just a reminder that connections just don't stop at a certain point; they continue to evolve and grow overtime which further deepens the bond.

Brunch is one component that makes a perfect weekend in the city and is one of the things that I truly love about living in New York.
