Sundays, Globe Style

Alright, so I was thinking about what my favorite day of the week is. On paper, it's Thursday.

Look at it. It just looks nice. 

But then I realized, that's not actually true. By and large, Thursdays have not held too many exciting things. The TV shows I liked aired on Monday and Tuesday. Thursday is not included in the weekend,  it's not early enough to be part of the productive week, either. Thursday didn't hold up. It's not Thursday's fault, I guess I should never have put it on that pedestal. 

So I had to challenge my own beliefs, which is hard, and decide what my favorite day of the week actually is. And hands down, it's Sunday. 

Sunday is when football happens, which is great. Sunday is also when people make great food, at least in my experience. People gather on Sundays, to eat that great food they made and to gather confidence from each other about the coming week. People sleep in on Sunday mornings. You're recovering from Saturday, you're recharging for the week. Sundays are the best.

So, what do you do with your newly-crowned-best-day-of-the-week Sunday? At some point you sit down for that Sunday meal, right? OH MY GOD GO DO THAT AT THE GLOBE. I'm telling you, human to human, it's a great idea. 

You want classic breakfast food? French toast. Eggs benedict. Want some special breakfast? There's gonna be some crazy specialty french toast and there's always the seafood omelet, also known as The Destroyer of Previously Held Notions of What Breakfast Could Be. Let's be honest, are you hungover? Mitch's Mess. Mitch's mess all the way. Throw a $2 Bloody Mary in there. There's gonna be great music from 10am-1pm. Sit down, listen to Hilari do her English accent (why? I don't know but it's magical), and bask in Sunday. 

But Becky, you say, Brunch ends at 3pm and I begin at 4pm. You know what else begins at 4pm? Pint & Pizza Night. $10 pizza, easily enough for three or four people (or one ambitious person, it's your Sunday), and $4 drafts. Good drafts, too; Flying Dog, Dogfish Head, Fin City. Put off Monday a little longer, have some good brews, it's a great time. Football is right around the corner, too - The Giants and The Bills play on August 3rd. 

Yes, this is a flagrant plug for the Globe, but it's also how I feel. I listened to my heart, and it said, "Becky, you're lying to yourself about Thursday. You love Sunday, and you love Brunch. Also pizza."
