Good Thanks

"For a quick, casual brunch, Good Thanks is a great option. This spot—which also has a location on the Lower East Side—has everything you expect from an Australian cafe: avocado toast, flat whites, a mostly-white interior that won’t exacerbate your hangover, etc. Try the whipped ricotta, or get the burger, which tastes like a better version of something you’d snag from a drive-thru. Beverage options include a bloody mary and an espresso martini, although you can also drink a green juice if you aren’t quite ready for vodka." - bryan kim, carina finn koeppicus, will hartman

"Concord Hill is a neighborhood spot in Williamsburg where you can eat a burger and some oysters for lunch or dinner, or fried eggs with andouille sausage during weekend brunch. For New Year’s Eve, they’re selling five-course dinner boxes for two. Each one comes with a few apps (like foie gras terrine and lobster salad), mushroom pasta, beef bourguignon, a chocolate mousse cake, as well as two infused cocktails and a bottle of sparkling wine. Make sure you place your order before Wednesday, December 30th at 7pm." - hannah albertine

"If you show up to this Williamsburg all-day spot during their 4-6pm Happy Hour with a sticker, they’ll give you a free shot. Of course, in line with this year’s booze law, you also need to buy something to eat while you’re there. They have a whole menu of dishes like oysters, bread from Balthazar bakery, burgers, and more." - hannah albertine
