Two weeks ago, we asked you Bushwickians to nominate your favorite local brunch spots in and around the neighborhood. In total, 16 restaurants were nominated. Phew! There clearly isn’t a shortage of brunch options around here.

Last week, we asked you to vote. And wow was it a nail biter. The first and second place restaurants, which you’ll find out below, were in a day-long battle for the gold medal. Every time we checked, it seemed that there was a lead change.

Largely due to yesterday’s battle, the total voting numbers were crazy high! In total, nearly 10,000 votes were cast. That is, by a long shot, the most votes we’ve received in any Best of Bushwick competition this year. So, for that, we thank you.
