An all-you-can-eat cereal bar is coming to NYC
If stuffing your face on weekend mornings is your thing, this new hotel brunch is here for you.
The Moxy NYC Downtown just launched a nostalgic 1980s- and ’90s-themed weekend brunch in the Financial District. At Recreation, the hotel’s retro-themed bar and restaurant, classic arcade games (think Ms. Pacman, Centipede and Donkey Kong), as well as board and tabletop games are super popular with guests, many of whom are nostalgic for the simpler life of the 20th Century.
So, Recreation launched a new brunch targeted to Gen X and Millennials, complete with an all-you-can-eat cereal bar with all types of milk (plant milks, of course) to choose from, plus a shareable board game charcuterie board filled with sweet and savory options like bagels, waffles, fresh fruit, pastries and more.
To drink, curated cocktails include the Go For The Gold, which is made with Golden Graham cereal-infused Hendricks Gin plus a honey cordial, lemon juice, orange bitters and an egg white. The drink pairs well with Monopoly, while the Doctored Pepper (Dragon Fruit Bacardi Rum, Lemon Juice and Dr.Pepper) was designed to sip during the tactical game of Operation. The entire cocktail menu is also available batched, as a $95 Get Your Groove On special, served in a disco ball punchbowl. Beer-drinking groups can also buy into a $160 retro rolling cooler rental, filled with ice and 24 cans of beer.
All this can be enjoyed while Saturday morning cartoons and music hits from the era play across the TVs and speakers, taking guests back to a time long before TikTok. You may even talk to other humans.
Board Game Brunch is served at Recreation every Sunday from 11am-3pm, with reservations bookable via OpenTable.
