The Waterfront Owners Invite You to 6 New Year’s Day Brunches

After the confetti has been dropped and the champagne bottles are emptied, there is only one thing to do after all of the NYE celebrations… have brunch! No one knows how to cure those post-NYE blues better than the Waterfront legacy of bars and restaurants that bring their neighborhoods together for more than just delicious plates of morning grub. The families behind the Waterfront give their hearts to these community hubs and it shows in their New Year’s Day morning meals, so pull up a chair and come hungry for a legendary start to 2017.

Looking to start the New Year with a filling morning dish and a little good luck? At the helm of the family behind the Waterfront brands is Grandma Nancy Nichols. On midnight, the start of New Year’s Day, she will be serving her famous home-made Black Eyed Peas at every location, a southern dish that is served for good luck.
