Weekend brunch is a way of life, one I terribly miss during the pandemic. Although I can’t go out to support my favorite local eateries, I order in a lot! If you’re planning on visiting New York in the future (or live here and looking for a new place to try) check out these small businesses!

I care about reducing carbon emissions, preserving our natural habitats, and going zero waste. I also care about human rights, equality, and fighting racism.
