Girlie Brunch

Sunday is "Girlie Brunch" at GEM on 6th and Washington Avenue. It begins at 12 Noon and ends at 4:00 PM. The early afternoon food and fun is hosted by Pussila, Geraldine and Fernan D-Cute (who also assist in busing and serving tables) along with a special guest. Last weekend the guest was Monica LaGrand.

The menu is small, but really tasty and reasonably priced. I had the Spa Omelet which was grilled chicken, mushrooms and egg whites with a red sauce. Mr. S had Eggs Benedict with Prosciutto Ham. The most expensive thing on the menu is $13.00. All meals come with a complimentary Mimosa and a bottomless cup of coffee. There are specialty drinks and none were above $6.00.

The entertainment runs continuously and can be considered family fun. Everything is enjoyable and the crowd is diverse and casual.

This last weekend was also Pussila's Birthday and she was presented with flowers, champagne and a cake. She was surprised and (without losing her voice) was able to thank the crowd before she changed outfits for her next number.

The pics show the girls entertaining in their waitress outfits singing "Sisters", then Pussila did a Bjork song, Monica did a pre-Cinco de Mayo song by Rocio Durcal, and Geraldine and Fernan D-Cute performed "Slow Boat to China" as Barry Manilow and Bette Midler.

In the crowd that afternoon were Edison Farrow, Thomas Barker and Carl Zablotny from "The Wire". There were about 30 people in the room and everything in the mostly white room was casually elegant and nice. Go if you would like a nice meal and entertainment. The music in between performances was nice and never so loud that you could not hear the conversation at your table. Enjoy!
