del.icio.usIt’s never too early to start planning your New Year’s Eve recovery strategy. Start looking now for a restaurant serving brunch on New Year’s Day.
More often than not after a night of drinking, eating is the last thing on your mind. In fact, putting anything besides aspirin into your system often feels like it could have catastrophic results. Getting yourself fed, though, is an important part of the healing process.
“When you’re hungover, you have to force yourself to eat,” said Christophe Gest, the chef at Jolie (pictured), a French eatery on Atlantic Avenue in Boerum Hill. “A good, heavy meal will help you get past the hangover and absorb the alcohol. When I’m hungover, I force myself to eat a lot. For breakfast, eggs are good, and we have a traditional French onion soup that’s very good early in the morning. It’s hard to drink sometimes, but a Bloody Mary would work as well.”
Consider these health benefits when you’re making plans for New Year’s Day brunch at Jolie, Chez Lola in Fort Greene, Lodge in Williamsburg or anywhere else that’s open and dishing up eggs and much-needed cups of coffee.
