After 3 full days of nothing but turkey, comfort food and Thanksgiving leftovers, chances are you’re not craving a big brunch this morning. But even so – how could you possibly pass up a good glass of bubbly to toast the beginning of the holiday season? You couldn’t – which is why you should head to UpStairs on the Square for a lighter treat, an Afternoon Tea, with bubbly (of course).

Even if you stuffed yourself full of cranberries and casseroles, you should still have room this Sunday afternoon to indulge on these “dainty” treats. And since UpStairs on the Square will be closing at the end of the month, there’s no better time to get your last Afternoon Tea experience at the Harvard Square restaurant.

It’s Tipsy Time — Here are the Brunch Buzz Deets

When

If you decide to forego their standard brunch and skip right to the afternoon tea, head to Upstairs on the Square between 2p.m. and 4p.m. Just make sure to call ahead or make a reservation.

Where

The cutesy and colorful restaurant is located in the heart of Harvard Square at 91 Winthrop Street, Cambridge.

What to Eat

The Afternoon Tea (or brunch alternative) serves up savory bites to eat and plenty of sweets. Enjoy a small plate of hot dates stuffed with almond and butter, wrapped in bacon. Or their famous milk chocolate-dipped praline turtles. It doesn’t matter how full you still are from your Thanksgiving feast, there’s always room for these small-sized treats.

The Brunch Buzz Drink

To get your brunch buzz drink, I recommend ordering UpStairs on the Square’s “Zebra Tea with a Kick.” The kick being a delicious glass of bubbly to accompany those Afternoon Tea treats. The complete Zebra Tea with a Kick only costs $35 and offers the perfect buzz and the right amount of food for the Sunday after Thanksgiving.
