Sunburnt Cow: Boozy Brunch Spot
Waking up on a weekend morning (and by morning I mean afternoon) with a throat like sandpaper and a heavy case of alcohol-induced dizzies hardly welcomes the notion of inserting vodka into your a.m. Tropicana. When my coworkers invited me to an all-you-can-drink Aussie Saturday brunch at The Sunburnt Cow, needless to say I was a bit hesitant to attend. After all, their motto is “get wet or get burnt.”

Extra Virgin
It seems counter-intuitive to wake up early on a Saturday or Sunday to wait in line to eat brunch. Yet it happens all around the country; in all the places I’ve lived, people are always willing to wait to get that greatly desired brunch—be it a local pancake place or the big box version: IHOP.
But, it seems even crazier to wait in line for brunch in the West Village. Why wait half an hour for brunch when on any given block you find somewhere to pay 15 dollars for two eggs and bacon? Extra Virgin, is that place where people are willing to wait—45 minutes to sit outside; 15 minutes, inside (during prime brunch hours). If New Yorkers can invest the time for it, it might at least be worth checking out.
