In the past few years, ‘brunch’, a late breakfast combined with an early lunch, has steadily made its way to the top of the American love affair. Originally, brunch began as a 'friends only’ affair.

American towns all over are scrambling to keep up with this phenomenon. Restaurants and cafes are introducing flexible brunch menus with singular pairings like Benedicts and Bloody Marys. In the midst of this craze, Connecticut has emerged as one of the primary contenders for brunch hotspots in the country.
