It often features a variety of dishes, including eggs, pancakes, sandwiches, and salads. Brunch is popular on weekends and is often accompanied by beverages like coffee, tea, or cocktails such as mimosas and Bloody Marys. This social meal is often seen as a leisurely gathering, allowing friends and family to enjoy food and conversation. Many restaurants offer special brunch menus, and it has become a cultural trend in places like New York City and Los Angeles, where brunch spots are highly sought after.
