Last year local restaurants were getting fined for serving brunch on the sidewalk before noon because of an outdated law that ensured the path was clear for churchgoers. Yana was right, “brunch is the new church!” and finally the city council abolished the stupid law. According to the Daily News, Stephen Levin who sponsored the bill actually said this: “I’m egg-static that the war on brunch is over…Thanks to the City Council, the law preventing sidewalk brunching before noon on Sunday is toast.”
