Is the weekend really complete without brunch? We'd argue that it's not, but if you need a little extra convincing that your Saturday or Sunday should involve a trip to your favorite restaurant for the best kind of meal, here's a list of reasons to go to brunch this weekend. 

What Are the Perks of Brunch?

1. It's Two Meals in One 

The timing of brunch means that you're eating breakfast and lunch at the same time, which allows for more space to indulge and a myriad of options. Whether you're craving sweet pancakes, a savory burger, or both, the brunch menu has it all. The delicious choices will likely keep you full all the way to dinner time, so there are plenty of reasons to eat plenty of food. 

2. It's a Great Excuse to Get Together 

Brunch tends to be a bit of a social gathering. You might be inclined to go with the same people you partied with the night before, or the brunch crew might be folks you haven't seen in ages. Either way, it's nice to get together in the afternoon or late morning to share food, laughs, and drinks. 

3. The Drinks 

If you're over 21, one of the best reasons to get brunch is the boozy aspect. Whether you're a mimosa, bellini, or Bloody Mary fan, brunch is the perfect excuse to get a little buzz on during the day, especially since there's plenty of food to compliment it all.
