Although I live in Dallas, I was born and raised in the east coast. New Jersey, if you want to be specific. My family is actually from the Caribbean and I was the first in my family to be born in the US. Even though I've been in Dallas for a significant amount of time, I am still an East Coast chick to my heart. Anytime I visit that side of the United States, I'm reminded of why I love the East. The vibe, the sights, the people, the food--it's a different flow. The south has

Washington D.C. Probably one of the first places that come to mind when I think of places that go hard on brunch, like we do in Dallas. But I have to give it to them--D.C. offers a much wider selection that I've experienced in the Big D. So I was totally excited to take time to explore this great city and try a variety of spots. Along the next few weeks, I'll share all of the places that I got to explore. But for now, it's start with one of the newest spots to hit the nation

Clearly we love brunch here at Brunchlust and we give it it's utmost attention. I imagine people think that there's a lot of preparation that goes into our reviews. Yes, we do our research. Yes, we have an idea of the kind of food or environment that we want to experience. So if you think we do a lot of prep work for this brunch life, then you would be correct. But something has to be said for those days that you just decide you're gonna go brunch on a whim. This is what brou

This week we are featuring a review from Brunchlust Correspondent Krystle Thomas! Want to apply to be a Brunchlust Correspondent? Email us! Blake's on Poydras is a new restaurant in the New Orleans Business District that specializes in contemporary southern food. I went into Blake's earlier in the week to watch the play off game (the bartender makes great specialty drinks by the way). During this visit a friend and I tried the crab cakes and Beignets and then we decided we mu

I love traveling to new places. Especially if I can travel to an international destination. My very low goal is to leave the U.S. at least once a year but I personally let flight deals and sales guide me. This year I got the opportunity to travel to a place I've never been to before -- Bangkok, Thailand. A land filled with lush mountains, pristine beaches, and culinary greatness, Bangkok lived up to my expectations and then some. The people were friendly, the service was fant

Music and brunch. I'm such a huge fan of this pairing that it's ridiculous. I mean, bubbles, good food, and jams--how could you not love it? So when I heard that the Harwood District in Dallas was having a DJ brunch series, I jumped all over it. The series kicked off in March. On Saturdays, participating restaurants host a resident DJ during their brunch hours. Every Saturday is at a different location in the Harwood District and each spot offers their own flavor.

Hello Lusters! Time for another brunch review by yours truly. Let's talk about Filament, located in Deep Ellum. I fell in love with this place as soon as I walked through the door. Filament looks like every modern, swanky, artistic, loft space lovers' dream. Exposed brick walls. Shelving made from pipes and wood planks. Industrial light fixtures. A subway-tiled bar. It was everything. If I could take Filament and place it in my house, I'd be a very happy lady. But enough abou

You know what I love about the brunch movement? Some of my favorite spots have embraced brunch and it allows me another chance to digest each spot in a new way. Such is the case with Cedars Social in Dallas. Located next to the SouthSide Lamar building, Cedars Social has been a hip bar that is popular with locals and a great spot to take visiting out-of-towners. If you are graced with visiting when the weather is pleasant, the outdoor patio with bench seating and a large fire

I love NYC during the summer/fall transition. The air is crisp. The sky is clear. And city is vibrant. I found myself in the city on a whim. The flight was a good deal and I haven't visited in a while. So off I went to the Big Apple. Brunch is in high abundance in New York. You can find deals and brunch specials on almost every corner. But I had my sights set on a local spot called Penelope. Located on the corner of Lexington Ave and 30th, Penelope is perched right on the cor

Did you know there isn't a word in Spanish for Brunch? It's called Desayuna Tardio, which translates to "Late Breakfast". We at Brunchlust know that brunch is so much more than that and while I was in Barcelona this summer, I found a restaurant that agrees! Milk Bar & Bistro caters to the American bruncher. Here you can find tra
