The Best Brunch Spots Open on New Year’s Day in San Diego

"Weave through the Lobby Bar at the Lafayette Hotel in North Park to find one of the few 24-hour diners in San Diego. Modeled to look like a nostalgic New York-style restaurant, Beginner’s Diner serves a menu of generous portions of eggs, potatoes, and Reuben sandwiches at the counter or at comfy booths. Fancier alternatives include banana bread French toast, a bacon avocado Benedict, and cinnamon rolls baked every day, all available to pair with a boozy milkshake. Breakfast starts at midnight and is served until 1 p.m. every day, including on New Year’s Day." - Helen I. Hwang, Candice Woo
