New Year's Day at Brass Union: "Detox to Retox Marathon Brunch"

WHAT: After partying into the early hours of the morning, Brass Union will celebrate New Year’s Day with a special “Detox to Retox Marathon Brunch.” Available all day and into the night, brunch marathoners are encouraged to dine (and drink) in their pajamas and casual hangover attire for true “smooth sailing” into 2016. Revelers also will enjoy funky tunes by DJ Leah V while they dine, creating the first of many memorable dance parties in the New Year. Designed by executive chef Jon Kopacz, the culinary menu evokes guilt-heavy sustenance and brunch classics sure to cure even the worst of hangovers. On the liquid side, beverage director Paulo Pereira will be shaking up brunch-friendly cocktails for those testing the “hair of the dog” theory.
