Rise and shine! It’s officially Easter Sunday (and pre-Marathon Monday ) which means it’s also going to be damn hard to get a table come brunch time. At this point – I think it’s safe to say that most (if not all) of the decent Bellini sipping Easter brunch spots have reached max capacity.
Fortunately for you, there are a few brunches in Boston that don’t require reservations. Yes, there may be lines. And yes, you may have to wait 30 plus minutes for that bloody mary. But it will all be worth it – we promise.
Not only do these 8 brunch spots accept first come, first served customers – but they’ve also got plenty of carbs for your pre-Marathon carbo-loading brunch. From Deep Ellum’s BBQ breakfast to the North Street Grille’s Nutella french toast sticks, there’s plenty of brunch fare to be had in this town. You just have to know where to find it – even without reservations.
