$32 Gets You Unlimited Punch and an Entree
This past Sunday, I had a fun brunch with Aish at Millesime (http://www.millesimenyc.com/) a French restaurant/bar at the Carlton Hotel on Madison Ave.
The facade of the building is really striking - it is hard to miss its striped exterior!

Millesime features a Punch Brunch for $32. This price covers a choice of punch (unlimited) and entree. There are both sweet and savory options, but not many vegetarian options. Aish is a flexible vegetarian (she eats eggs, which makes this MUCH easier), so it wasn't a big deal, but keep that in mind!
We ordered both of the punches! I love lychee, so I drank more of the Elderflower Lychee Sangria than the Lemon Rosemary Vodka.

Aish ordered the Toulouse Sausage and Eggs (with the sausage on the side - eek meat!).

I traded her most of my home fries for her sausage. As you can see below, the sausage is absolutely terrifying. Is it a snake? Am I eating it...or is it eating me? After I conquered my fears, or rather my hunger did, the sausage was quite tasty!

I got the Eggs Benedict and they were fantastic. I'm really glad I went with this (typically) solid option! The hollandaise was very flavorful made and the poached eggs were the perfect consistency.
Eggs Benedict - delish!
This brunch option is pricier than other unlimited offers in the city ($32 vs. $25). I felt that I got a good value since I ordered a heartier entree. I felt Aish, as the sad vegetarian, was a bit jipped. On the bright side, because there was no time limit, we stayed for several hours to catch up, enjoy the view, and drink the punch!
Cheers,
