"Sometimes, it’s nice to pretend you’re brunching in Maine with your quiet luxury loafers and such. The sleek, sun-drenched Marsh House in the Thompson Hotel lobby will scratch that itch. Now, there’s really only one way to kick this thing off: a seafood tower. And this one will come with briny oysters, mussels, crab ravigote, smoked fish dip, and ceviche. A citrusy, bubbly cocktail will go nicely with that, plus, it’ll give you the chance to say things like “cin, cin” and “I hear Nantucket is positively resplendent this time of year.” You could stay on the seafood train with the shrimp po’boy or the fried oyster benedict, but the cast iron cinnamon roll and double-stacked Marsh House burger offer a nice counterpoint to all the raw bar items.
