We know the happiest, most wonderful hashtag in all of the Instagram universe: it's #brunch, and we could peruse through page after page of smoked salmon, poached eggs, berry-covered pancakes and waffles and bacon shot after bacon shot. You guys are good at this, so we rounded up the best things being eaten for brunch…

The first time I tasted a persimmon, I was on vacation in Israel and had already accustomed myself to a host of new foods. One morning at breakfast, when I spied a platter of what turned out to be persimmons. The bright orange, roundish fruits looked like tomatillos but tasted like honey, their wobbly, jelly-like…

To those who live outside New York: please continue to fantasize about our city on Sundays as a poached egg haven where you're entitled to as many watered-down vodka or champagne cocktails as you can drive into you.

It's Father's Day! Run to the kitchen and make Dad some food — we've got all the recipes you need to make it a memorable morning. So shake up a Manmosa or two (this is not your little sister's mimosa, gently shove her away from the bar, or better yet, use your words) and take…

Mexican brunch is about as good as it gets, so props to the Rosa Mexicano restaurants, slingers of premium guac, to put together a brunch cocktail we might need another pitcher of.

Praise for the one morning of the week you don't have to justify drinking before, near or maybe a couple of hours after noon! Besides, it's just not brunch eggs or the greatest stack of pancakes ever without something strong and boozy. Hair of the dog if you need it, or possible path to the…

Why have a strong cup of coffee when you could have a strong cup of coffee. If there was ever a morning of the week to pull it off, it's Sunday. With a litle strategic jigger action and open flames, you can easily kill two birds with one stone. Or enhance the flavor and enjoyability…

From NYC gastropub Pounds and Ounces comes the Gin & Thyme cockail Bloody Mary that's not so much bloody as...full of gin and perfect for brunch. With this subtle fresh tomato and grassy thyme infusion, you may not get the (technical) whole serving of vegetables a real Bloody Mary can boast. But hey, more room…

We're all about brunch drinks — we'll even drink our veggies. Rather than the old standby of tomato juice and vodka this weekend, we're switching the vegetable and the booze and really turning things on their heads.
