There's a lot to look forward to in 2015—we just need to get through New Year's Eve, and the subsequent hangover that's bound to come with it, first. Good thing LA has post-boozing brunch down pat (and, let's be honest, boozing while brunching, too). To recap your night with friends, cure your aching head, and chow down like it's the last meal of the year (or, you know, the first), check out one of these New Year's Eve brunches to start 2015 with a bang.
Brunch buffet at Commissary
Where else would you be able to pay $15 for an unlimited plastic bucket of gin and juice? At Comissary, Roy Choi's greenhouse-like restaurant on the rooftop of the Line Hotel, you can subdue that throbbing headache with an unlimited brunch and dessert buffet (adults $50, kids $20), all the while sipping on Snoop Dogg's favorite beverage out of a takeout container. Not a gin fan? There are unlimited Bloody Marys and mimosas, too, also $15. 9am-2:30pm, call 213-368-3030 to book a reservation
Pajama Brunch at Stella Barra Pizzeria
When the thought of putting on real clothes makes zero sense come 2015, opt for a pajama brunch at Stella Barra to recap the previous night. Along with their regular brunch options (green eggs and ham sando, Belgian waffles, seasonal omelet and more), there will be $5 Bloody Marys, mimosas, and Bailey's and coffee to nurse. The best part? If you dine in your pj's, you'll receive a gift certificate equal to the price of your New Year's Day meal to be used on a future visit. Onesies for the win. 11am-4pm, available at both Hollywood and Santa Monica locations
3-course brunch at Wolfgang Puck at Hotel Bel-Air
If a New Year's Day brunch is any indication of how the rest of your year will go, Wolfgang Puck is a fine way to start 2015. For $65, a three-course menu offers up dishes like ricotta and Meyer lemon blintzes, egg white frittatas, and an eggs benedict with white cheddar biscuits and maple hollandaise. You so fancy. 11am-3pm
Bartender's Brunch at Petty Cash
And then there are those of you who haven't actually stopped partying yet; who can't remember when 2014 ended and 2015 began; who are crazy, because how the hell do you have this much energy? Continue the party at Petty Cash's Bartender's Brunch, where you can enjoy cocktail specials, a Champagne toast every hour on the hour, a shuffleboard tournament and, starting at 1pm, the sweet sounds of DJ Step-Dad. But seriously, go home at some point. 11am-5pm
New brunch menu at Blue Plate Oysterette
Some people can handle seafood after a night of heavy drinking, others would rather take the SAT all over again. If you're in the former camp, check out Blue Plate Oysterette's brand new brunch menu, launching on New Year's Day. Along with the requisite $15 bottomless mimosas, the beachy-chic eatery is offering lobster hash with fingerling potatoes, crab cakes benedict, bagels and lox, and a slew of other seafood brunch items. After January 1, their brunch menu will be offered every weekend. 11am-3pm, only available at Third Street location
The Hangover burger at Dog Haus
You just spent $100+ on bottle service last night, so let's lay off the big spending today, OK? Dog Haus is offering a hangover special for $9 on New Year's Day, a sent-from-heaven deal that includes The Hangover burger—chili, white American cheese, a fried egg and smoked bacon—and a PBR. Your cleanse can wait until tomorrow, we promise. 11am-10pm, only available at Pasadena, Alhambra and West Covina locations
