Harlem is not an area I frequent too often (it's just a tad out of the way from Williamsburg), but I'm glad I made the trip this past weekend for brunch at Lido. This fairly new Italian spot on Frederick Douglass Boulevard just got their liquor license and started serving brunch last week. Liquor license? Brunch? All words I enjoy. So I grabbed my mom and we made a little trip uptown; nothing says mother-daughter bonding like bottomless mimosas.
The space almost looks like it was designed specifically for brunch. Granted I've never seen it at night time, but the cream colored walls, crown moldings, exposed brick and tasteful chandeliers all seem to absorb sunlight. To get the full experience, we picked a nice high top table right by the window. Gotta get that Vitamin D somewhere, since I doubt it's in the food. We started off with some coffee and mimosas, which apparently are unlimited with brunch.
