I met up with friends at a great brunch place yesterday – Central Park ^[2]. We all brought something different and met up with a blanket at the Sheep Meadow. Inspired by breakfast buffets in Turkey, I brought a couple different cheeses, cucumbers, olives, and bread. One friend broke rules a bit and brought the ingredients for Bellinis. With quite a food spread, we sipped our Bellinis and caught up on with each other. I wondered why I didn’t do this more often, especially since it’s much cheaper than any other Manhattan alternative. We were just packing up when the sky darkened ominously and we made a dash for the subway. I suppose that there our some risks involved in brunching al fresco.
