"Drag brunch is back at the Country Club, Bywater’s always-packed oasis for brunch. Eat and drink outside in the lush pool gardens or on the front veranda; there are plenty of boozy options. Bellinis and mimosas come six glasses to a carafe; there’s a potent Titio’s bloody mary. Housed in a stunning circa-1884 Italianate manse in Bywater, brunch specialties include dishes like a silky corn and blue crab bisque and toothsome polenta and eggs. Lots of gluten-free options are available, too." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
