"In an area that lacks a real brunch scene, the colorful ceviches and fruit-flavored pisco sours at Jora are an ideal way to kick off a boozy afternoon in Hunters Point. This Peruvian restaurant gets packed on weekends—they don't take reservations, but you won’t have to wait more than ten minutes for a table. Get a hightop in the back bar area, where there's a livelier crowd, and follow your ceviche with an order of lomo saltado. Or, if you must have eggs at brunch, get the aji de gallina: the creamy chicken stew comes with a quail egg on top." - neha talreja, bryan kim, hannah albertine, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick
