Tapabar to serve brunch

Brunch must be the new dinner. I’m just finishing up a roundup of 35 top places for brunch and breakfast for our October issue and was surprised by how many restaurants are serving brunch these days. Narrowing the field was tough.

And now I find out on Patti Neumann’s CITYPEEK blog that Tapabar in Little Italy has joined the ranks of those offering early-day meals. I caught up with Tapabar owner Carolina Llaguno today, and she said the tapas restaurant will begin serving Sunday brunch on Sept. 13.

In case you’ve forgotten about the year-old Tapabar, it serves authentic Spanish and South American tapas. I visited the cozy restaurant recently and will have a review in our October issue. Let’s just say that I’m looking forward to returning soon.
