A sea of friendly faces joined us at LocalBozo.com’s #BrunchBash II on Saturday afternoon inside of Studio Arte’s clean 17th floor loft space. The sold out crowd, hungry for the best of the New York City’s brunch scene swarmed the many restaurant tables inside the venue, chatting with each chef before downing some delicious eats and bottomless brunch cocktails during the two and a half hour affair.

We’ve got a full photo gallery that captures just some of the festivities of the afternoon. And we’ve got the full menu on display below. A special thanks to the many outstanding restaurants that both participated and over-delivered to the delight of the sold out crowd- and to you, our readers, for giving us an additional vote of confidence by grabbing all of our remaining tickets prior to the event. We’ll be gearing up for another #BrunchBash in the fall, so make sure to stay tuned to LocalBozo.com and to all of our channels of social media so that you’re first in line when #BrunchBash time comes calling once again!  And until then, cheers!
