Bonus Points:

  • KIDS EAT FREE!
  • Outdoor seating (Union Square location)

Insider Tips:

  • JUST GO! You will have a good time w the littles!
  • [ED NOTE] The Union Square location is near Union Square’s Luna Park and also Barnes & Noble (which has a changing table – cuz the restaurant doesn’t).

Submitted by Chris and Victoria Anderson:

Christopher and Victoria Anderson are the parents of two girls (Leah, 6 yrs & Ella, 5 yrs.) who currently reside in Union Square. Both have backgrounds in the music industry where Christopher is a DJ/Music Producer and former Radio Promotions Director. Victoria is a former Booking Agent and has also had extensive Management and Public Relations experience in the music business.

In recent years, Christopher has become a beverage sales representative for both on and off premise locations in various Manhattan territories. Victoria now works at Gap Corporate office in Merchandising. Their music industry background combined with recent career experience provide an excellent combination of talent and knowledge to make this type of event successful. The idea of “Brunch Baby, Brunch” was born from the nightclub /day brunch business model from which both Christopher and Victoria have had great success with over the years.

The basic business concept is drawing a niche crowd to a venue for an ‘event’ through direct marketing, promotion and networking. As the event builds and grows popularity, the crowd grows proportionally. As the new chapter of parenthood recently began for the Andersons, they discovered a new world of young parents in their own backyard in and around Union Square. They also discovered very few restaurants in the area were stroller-friendly, and eating out was no longer a relaxing experience. The two discoveries put together set off a light bulb resulting in the idea of “Brunch Baby, Brunch”.
‘BRUNCH BABY, BRUNCH – BROOKLYN’ presents its Mother’s Day Brunch next Saturday May 13th at SCHIMANSKI New York – Bar Schimmi in Williamsburg. Details below! Check out www.brunchbabybrunchnyc.com for more info and future events.
