I love to brunch. There's nothing better than sleeping in after a long week and waking up to a great breakfast and a strong drink. When you live in and around this city brunch is a pastime. I also love it to be cheap, with some dope outside seating to enjoy the weather (and beautiful people), and a great atmosphere that encourages my love of day drinking. One place that captures all of these is Agave. So when a friend invited us to try Agave for the 1st time - for early-afternoon booze and breakfast - there was no chance it could be missed!

Agave is located in the West Village. I love this area. Wine bars, hidden clubs, dives, its the perfect area for a date-night or a meetup with friends 





(It's also the location of "Sex Toy Row"

 
(but that's for another day) 





The vibe once inside is fast paced. Don't let the white tablecloths fool you, this place is a day party waiting to happen. The atrium in the front is small but airy, with a few high tables on the side. Some in the group were already enjoying Agave's famous margaritas and were feeling pretty happy. An hour after our reservation, we were still waiting to be seated (after all- this is a boozy brunch in the city) but great company and a few shots made the time pass quickly.


The good vibes continued as we were seated in a semi-private room complete with our own music player. Before we knew it, multiple mimosa's and margaritas were being passed around. $25 gets you a breakfast and unlimited drinks for 2 hours. At no point did I have to yell out for another round since the waiter kept 'em coming. The margaritas were a little melted but had the perfect amount of tequila and tasted amazing. The food portions were a a good size, great for keeping the afternoon buzz at manageable levels. I attempted to be classy and tried the poached eggs, delicious. 

Agave definitely deserves to be put on the rotation. A popular spot for people watching means a good shirt and those trendy shoes you've been waiting to wear is recommended. Get drunk and look classy doing it, that's Agave!
