"Go big or go to the Riggs—that’s our motto for when you’re on a mission to outdo just about any other brunch experience in the city. This downtown destination serves all-day menus from the bar, café, and dining room of the Riggs hotel, and that’s where we go to town on lobster royale until our heart’s content, with some steak and eggs and vanilla crepés thrown in for good measure. Cap off all that opulence with the bottomless champagne cart priced at $55 per person. If you need to put in some work on the weekend, bring your laptop and post up inside the hotel lobby—the building, built in 1891, is a historic landmark, with intricate Richardsonian Romanesque architecture, marble columns here, and floor-to-ceiling red velvet drapery there." - Mekita Rivas
