One of my favorite parts of working in food TV was discovering different dining traditions all over the world. Many of our brunch club recipes are inspired by these travels, and this month we’re basing our whole menu around a very coveted British tradition - Afternoon Tea! Weather permitting, this will be an outdoor tea party, on the back patio at 304 Bond St. 
We’re asking guests to BYOC - Bring Your Own Cup. Whether you have handmade pottery from a trip overseas or a mug with your favorite sports team logo on it, please bring a tea cup or coffee mug that has special meaning for you. We’ll use these as part of our icebreakers!
To view this month's menu and reserve your seat at our communal table, please visit: <a href="https://www.brooklynbrunchclub.com/events" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.brooklynbrunchclub.com/events</a>
Reservations will close 8/21 (or when sold out).
See you at brunch club!
