Big Gay Brunch

Gotham's top LGBT chefs kick off Gay Pride Week with a poolside brunch on the Mercedes Club's rooftop. Before taking a dip, fill up on bites including "bronuts" (bomboloni with gianduja) from Top Chef's Elizabeth Falkner. Blue Moon brews, an Absolut cocktail bar and a Bloody Mary station will boost your bravado for an amateur synchronized-swimming contest, judged by Bryan Petroff and Doug Quint of Big Gay Ice Cream and a lineup of celebrity drag queens, including Suzy Wong. Test your competitive skills in an outdoor Ping-Pong match. A portion of proceeds will benefit the Trevor Project, providing crisis intervention for LGBT youth.
