Today's brunch was a success! Yuca Bar was 100% empty when we got there, which was both relieving and silly. I was relieved to see all those empty tables because no place in New York seems to take brunch reservations, and getting a table for a large group is the biggest logistical challenge to brunch-a-month. It became silly when, as the only people in the entire restaurant, the hostess refused to seat us as an incomplete party in case someone else needed the table. To her credit, the place really did fill up by the time we left, but it was a laughable that she made us stand around in the empty restaurant waiting for more people to show.
The food was great (thanks to Jen and Krysta for the recommendation!). I had the Arepas Benedictos with smoked salmon and a really, really good bloody mary. Rena brought her new fancy camera to breakfast, so you can see my meal below. She also got a few good pics of the restaurant from the outside, including one with Ben (hiding), Lorraina, Todd, and me.
See the rest of you next month at the third installment!
