It’s the most wonderful time of the year! We are weeks away from Christmas, and there’s no better way to get into the holiday spirit than by enjoying brunch with jolly ol’ Saint Nicholas himself! Several restaurants throughout Long Island will be hosting delicious, festive brunches that will be attended by the legendary gift-giver this December. If you’re straddling the line between the good and naughty lists, this might get you over the hump!
