Brunch, a new restaurant opening in River North promises to be the place for breakfast and lunch in Chicago. Featuring a modern, environmentally-friendly interior, in addition to contemporary menu items. Appealing not only to the leisure breakfast and lunch crowd, Brunch distinguishes itself with several unique features that will appeal to local businesspeople. The restaurant will feature a shoe shine booth, a private meeting room equipped with a teleconference system and Wi-Fi, a newsstand, and a convenient express station located at the front of the restaurant, which offers pastries, espresso, and coffee to-go. Under the direction of Executive Chef Daniel Tibbetts, the menu features a mix of classic brunch items like over-easy eggs and toast, as well as a wide variety of omelets, pancakes, pastries, and lunch items, including sandwiches, burgers, soups, and salads. The dining room will also spotlight its breakfast bar with fresh, cooked-to-order waffles, smoothies, and a wide variety of soda, and organic beverages. An ideal spot for businesspeople, Brunch houses a private meeting room adjacent to the dining room, which is equipped with a teleconference system and Wi-Fi. Prior to any meeting, professionals can get a quick shoe shine at the shoe shine booth and read the daily news from the flashing news ticker above the breakfast bar. Brunch is also proud to offer a selection of take-away pastries and coffees at its express station, which is perfect for the busy entrepreneur or Mom on-the-go. Brunch focuses on environmental sustainability with a special reusable coffee mug program, which allows customers to bring in their own coffee mugs to use for hot drinks, in an effort to reduce the amount of water wasted when washing dishes. Patrons also have the choice to leave their mugs at the restaurant, which will then be put into a regular rotation with the rest of the serving dishes. In addition, Brunch utilizes take-away boxes made from recycled material. The restaurant is open daily from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. The restaurant is easily accessible by public transportation
