Williamsburg is a popular Brooklyn neighborhood with many restaurants and bars. Whether you live in this part of town or are just visiting, there’s no doubt you’ll spend a good amount of your time eating.

From the perfect combination of breakfast and lunch meals to bottomless mimosa or bloody mary deals, brunch is the perfect time to truly enjoy company and celebrate the weekend. Whether you prefer a traditional brunch, like to try new cuisines, or simply want to be a bit adventurous, this list is bound to lead you in the right direction.
