Brunch, that popular mash-up between breakfast and lunch, should be fun. As in mimosas, dripping-with-syrup pancakes and interesting takes on toasts. It’s also about ordering something indulgent and giving yourself permission to slow down, put your phone on silent, and linger over conversations with friends.
For Lisa Ocasio, owner of The Tasty Table in Ossining, it’s also about meeting people where they are. For her, that means offering brunch Wednesday to Sunday as there’s no longer traditional nine to five jobs in nine to five offices. It’s now “an experience,” she said, as opposed to something that’s rigid to a specific clock or time.
