Brunch. Arguably the best meal of the day and one of the best weekend activities. As you bop around Back Bay, you can’t miss Newbury Street – home to some of the best shopping and places to eat in the city. Here are 5 of our favorite brunch spots:

The Met: Back Bay

This is in the heart of Newbury and a fantastic spot for food and drinks. They have a “create your own” Bloody Mary list that let’s you create the Mary of your dreams. Want a cheeseburger garnish? Done.

Sonsie

An always popular brunch spot, Sonsie has huge doors that open onto the street and is one of the best places to enjoy a nice day.

Stephanie’s

Fresh from a beautiful remodel, this is one of the most famous places to grab brunch on Newbury and should not be missed. They serve “sophisticated comfort food” that is sure to hit the spot if you overindulged the night before!

Trident Booksellers & Café

This bookstore has a great cafe as part of it and is the perfect place to brunch and people watch. You can grab something to read and enjoy a healthy meal with tons of vegan options.

Joe’s American Bar & Grill

This space has one of the best patios on Newbury and is also one of the top spots to people watch. Their menu has fantastic food and tasty drinks – you won’t be disappointed.
