Themed Dining: “Upper Eastside” Brunch…. in Memphis

Gossip Girl here, your one and only source into the scandalous lives of Manha…Memphis’ elite.

Who doesn’t love watching the scandalous lives of Manhattan’s elite? Who wouldn’t love to dine like Serena Van der Woodsen, Chuck Bass and Queen B?

To those of us who live in Memphis, we know that the options of entertainment in Memphis are few. The regular places of Midtown and Downtown are bars and clubs that reside on Beale Street, Cooper/Young, or Overton Square. The activities are even fewer. After a few years of living here, all of that can lose its excitement. So, we decided to try something else. Themed Brunches!

The Theme: Upper East Side.

We started to search for places that served brunch, in the Midtown/Downtown area.  We wanted the classy atmosphere to fit our theme. The Brushmark at the Brooks Museum is the closest thing we could find. Floor to ceiling windows that show an adorable outdoor patio, modern decor with an intimate feel.

We picked the day, December 16th (which was Mary’s birthday morning), and planned our outfits.

We got ready together that morning. Dressed in cocktail dresses, heels, and used the proper accessories.

We started with Chocolate croissants and Mimosa’s, then order our main course. Everything was to our satisfactory.

You and your girlfriends: Pick a theme, a place, and the day. Be Creative. Go shopping and have a themed Brunch, Lunch or Dinner and send up your themed dining outting!

You know you love me.
