Drink in the Season! Pajama Brunch at Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba

We don't usually think of the esteemed Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba as a restaurant to stumble into in our pajamas. Actually, since our college dining hall, we haven't thought of ANY restaurant as someplace to stumble into in our pajamas. But once a year, on New Year's Day, such behavior is more than a tolerated consequence of publican excess; it is encouraged. At Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba, the 7th annual Pajama Brunch starts at 10 AM on January 1, 2011. Make it your first meal of the new year.

Breakfast will be tapas-style and influenced by Spanish flavors, and will include tasty favorites like Sausage Fried Paella Rice with Poached Egg and the sweeter Caramelized Banana Waffle with Maple Syrup. The sangria will be flowing, and you can start to cure your hangover at the bloody mary bar.

Here's the best part. If you actually show up in your pajamas, you will get a Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba gift certificate equal to the price of your meal, minus tax and tip. How about that - a New Year's celebration that costs you almost nothing. What a great way to ring in 2011.

Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba is located at 2024 N. Halsted. Reservations are recommended.
