Boozy Brunch: Polo Steakhouse in Garden City, NY

?>

I am no stranger to a boozy brunch.  Some may say that I am a bit of an aficionado.  Between the amazing unlimited sangria of Calle Ocho and the monster glasses of mimosa at Uptown Bar & Grill, I’ve had a chance to survey some of the best options the city has.  However, one of the most amazing spots isn’t even in Manhattan but a stone’s throw away.

So last month when I had a birthday, an offertory trip to The Garden City Hotel’s Sunday extravaganza was definitely in order.  This all inclusive wonderland of unlimited champagne and cake pops. It does run a bit on the pricy side but if you’re celebrating a special occasion it is definitely worth it.

I piled as much on my plate as humanly possible.  Mingling cuisines that should not share the same space anywhere from sushi to hummus and succulent prime rib.  This brunch buffet has it all.

 
What would a Sunday morning be without a rainbow cookie?
  The self serve chocolate fountain with a wide array of options to dip and enjoy!A tuna slider. The mini brioche buns were a delectable treat.
     
And of course champagne!  They refill repeatedly and when your glass is nearing completion.  There is no begging for that extra serving of boozy brunch goodness here.
  
And finally after two hours of unlimited delicacies I was brought an elegant plate of bite sized dessert options with a massive sparkler. Full, satisfied, I reemerged into the world a happy clam. If you’re looking to impress that special someone or just need a place to show off to mom and dad this is a definite must. Located in my hometown of Garden City, New York it’s worth the trip….just reserve time for an afternoon lie down after all of that champagne.

Born in Virginia and raised on the mean streets of Garden City, Long Island, I’ve learned to appreciate any type of cuisine from a late night burrito and tatcho’s to a tasting menu and wine pairing. I’m a bit of an adventurer when it comes to food and am always up for an eating challenge where I can find one. I may or may not have eaten sixteen chili tacos to become “The Taco Queen” of a small hole in the wall Mexican eatery. I also couldn’t help myself from ordering whale in Oslo (please don’t tell Green Peace) and can’t resist a zany menu choice. A writer and performer, I like to pair my meals with a good play and you can find my reviews on New York Theatre Guide. Baking is a guilty pleasure and I’m constantly preparing confectionaries with surprises inside. I hope one day to compile all my recipes into one called “Get Stuffed”.I’m looking forward to the next culinary adventure I carve out and sharing them with you. I may just need to create an entire series devoted to “did they really just make this Asian/Mexican/Korean/Italian fusion a food truck?”. Cheers!
