Miami Beach: How To Enjoy The National Hotel's Pool Without Staying Over

MsRebecca — 2011-04-21T11:57:03-05:00

The hotels on the Collins Ave stretch of South Beach are known for their kick-ass pools. But, alas, also for their wallet-breaking rates. Which is why we love hearing about new ways to park ourselves poolside without staying the night (or jumping the fence).

The National Hotel is our latest hero for helping in that department. The under-the-radar Deco property has just launched its new Sunday Brunch menu, for $39 per person.

Or, if you're like us, and need the sustenance of nonstop Bloody Mary or Mimosa refills, make that $49.

The UK prides itself on traditional Sunday roasts, not champagne brunches as we're accustomed to Stateside. Stellar eggs benedict and fluffy pancakes (be aware that "flapjack" refers to something else entirely across the pond) are ever elusive menu items, especially among hotel restaurants. In a city where midday weekend meals start off with a pint rather

San Francisco: Drag Yourself to Sir Francis Drake's Drag Queen Brunch

Jennifer Kester — 2011-02-16T13:01:26-05:00

If you head to the Sir Francis Drake for brunch, you might make the mistake of hitting up Scala's Bistro to taste former season-four Top Chef contestant Jennifer Biesty's rustic Italian fare. But those in the know head to the hotel's Harry Denton's Starlight Room to share their eggs with a bunch of drag queens.

The five-year-old "Sunday's a Drag" adds some flair to the weekend brunch routine. Mimicking the old-time variety shows, "Sunday's a Drag" features decked-out drag queens performing stand-up comedy, doing impersonations and lip-syncing ditties.
