Just passing by Regional, you might be first surprised at its popularity on a Sunday morning. While my friend and I were glad to have such a great, free brunch at Regional, I could not help thinking what a good choice it would be for my friends and I to have a Columbia graduates party at this Italian cuisine restaurant.
Regional is located at 2607 Broadway, twenty minutes walk away from Columbia Morningside Campus. It is decorated in bright colors, simple but charming post-mordenism style, with an absolutely cozy atmosphere. You will need to wait for a little while if you want to try a gourmet, fancy brunch including everything from sandwiches to omelets and burgers to pancakes with unlimited refills of mimosas and margaritas. What’s most important is that at Regional, the price is quite acceptable and you will have a special Italian food experience that you will seldom find other places in New York.
Since I already tasted the mimosa at Regional, I have to tell you how much I love it. Just buy one mimosa or bloody mary and you will find yourself drinking the alcohol with orange juice nonstop. Nothing can be more attractive than having a fresh and soft mimosa with a blueberry pancake, a spinach salad with goat cheese. and a Scottish salmon omelet. The goat cheese in the spinach salad was especially tasty to eat with the mushrooms and eggs in the dish. The inside blueberry of pancakes provide much food for thought. And you will definitely fall in love with the rich and thick flavor of Scottish salmon, ham and fried eggs in the omelet.
While enjoying humming jazz music at Regional, you can have both considerate service and many other special treats. You can either choose to have $25 three-courses on Tuesday or have an $9-for-all-pastas on Monday nights. And as for me, I love this restaurant’s appetizers more than I can express.
Come over to Regional and have a party!
