As if we needed another reason to leave the house in elastic waist pants on the weekend, two restaurants are now serving brunch on Saturdays and Sundays.

Soigne Restaurant & Wine Bar (486 6th Ave) will now be open for brunch from 11am-3pm on Saturdays (in addition to the existing Sunday brunch). In addition to the complimentary coffee, tea or juice and housemade sticky buns, try a Biloxi Johnny (their house-made Bloody Marys) with bacon or rock shrimp, then move on to a lobster omelet or a great twist on a traditional soul food specialty: chicken and pumpkin waffles. See the full menu here.

Also starting this weekend, the new pizzeria Brooklyn Central will be open for brunch from 11:30am-3:30pm. Eater says to expect “a lot from the regular menu, plus a number of breakfast pies,” and HPS describes a banana stonecake, which sounds pretty amazing if you’d prefer something sweet.
