The Upsider
The Upsider is almost too happy a space, with its bright blue bar and plump black bar stools basically smiling at you as you come in. Brunching here is almost like fulfilling some type of Sunday, feel good prophecy, like it was meant to happen. And you will only continue to feel this odd sensation when they serve you your plate of Smashed Avocado on Thick Cut Multigrain Toast topped with two too perfectly poached eggs. Even in a town that has gone mental over this now trendy menu staple, up against The Upsider, everyone else's avocado toast is toast.
