If there's one thing New Yorkers do better than anyone else, it’s brunching. Of course, New York is also known as the city that never sleeps. How do we reconcile these seemingly contrasting talents? Enter, the limitless liquid brunch. Nowadays, all-you-can-drink deals aren’t always easy to come by (it’s a recession, after all), but after arduous “research” and multiple hangovers, we managed to put together a list of best bets throughout the city. And if the phrase “hair of the dog” makes you squirm, you ain’t never seen Kittichai’s blood orange mimosa.

The Sunburnt Calf (Upper West Side) 
The deal: $18 gets you a choice of brunch entree, plus unlimited mimosas, screwdrivers, "moo" marys, greyhounds or Foster's brew.
The vibe: While the newest addition to this Australian dive bar trifecta is one step up from its downtown predecessors, that still makes it the least snobby brunch joint on the UWS. Bring your eight closest friends! Double-fist mimosas! Screw indoor voices! Use that fried-egg topped cheeseburger as your base for a day of debauchery.
The bottom(less) line: Go when you need a meal as an excuse to hit up the bar at noon.
226 West 79th (Broadway and Amsterdam), 646.823.9255

Southern Hospitality (Upper East Side)
The deal: Fork over an additional 12 big ones and get bottomless mimosas or bloodies.
The vibe: Justin Timberlake’s UES BBQ joint really focuses on the food, with chicken and waffles, fried steak-and-eggs, and smoked brisket hash that are a delicious deviation from standard brunch fare. Paying an additional 12 bucks for unlimited drinks isn't totally unjustified, but only if you're okay ending the meal a lot poorer and still sober.
The bottom(less) line: Go for the food, not the drinks—your attempts to get drunk will only get you an acid-induced stomachache, not a buzz.
1460 2nd Ave.(76th & 77th Sts.), 212.249.1001

Aspen Social Club (Midtown)
The deal: $20 Bloody Brunch: bottomless bloody marys, mimosas and brunch entrée.
The vibe: So you live on the Upper West Side, but you woke up Sunday morning in...the Village? Gather some liquid courage before facing your roommate's scornful eye and stop off at Aspen Social Club in Midtown. More known for its late nights than early mornings, your running mascara won't be judged here—munch on a frittata or strawberry pancakes while your server keeps those Bloodies coming.
The bottom(less) line: At Bloody Brunch, you can get tipsy for the price of what a single cocktail costs at this hot club the night before.
157 W. 47th St.(6th and 7th Aves.), 212.221.7200

Paradou (Meatpacking)
The deal: A two-hour brunch with unlimited champagne cocktails will set you back $29 (parties of 2-7), $35 (parties of 8-11) or $45 (parties of 12+).
The vibe: For some people—and you know who you are—all-you-can-drink specials will only end in disaster (banishment, soiled trousers, cops). For these people, there is Paradou, whose super swanky bottomless deal has a litany of rules to keep drunchers in check. No drinks till noon! Two hours and you’re out! You will be cut off at any sign of ridiculousness! Breaking it to your parents that you are marrying that struggling bassist? Go to Paradou. Just dumped by that struggling bassist? Go to Sunburnt Cow.
The bottom(less) line: Brunch at Paradou is only really worth your while if you don’t have too many friends.
8 Little W. 12th St.(9th Ave. & Washington St.), 212.463.8345

Yerba Buena (East Village)
The deal: An additional $12 gets you an hour plus of unlimited mimosas, bellinis and Jalapeno Bloody Marys from 11am-3pm on weekends.
The vibe: Brunch at Yerba Buena’s East Village locale is known for its spicy Jalapeno Bloody Mary, but beloved because they make ‘em strong. While word is that the brunch menu is pretty decent, too, no one seems to really remember. And there you have it, kids.
The bottom(less) line: Unlimited mimosas is so 2009. Take it up a notch with hot peppers in your morning cocktails.
23 Ave. A(@ E. 2nd St.), 212.529.2919

Kittichai (SoHo)
The deal: Two hours of passion-fruit bellinis, bloody marys and blood orange mimosas with an entrée for $25.
The vibe: Located in SoHo hotel 60 Thompson, this is not the brunch spot you stumble into as a stop off on a walk of shame. A swanky Thai spot with clientelle to match, get dressed up and indulge in curry eggs benedict or an omelet with sour sausage and lump crab. Or rally a group of friends on their cozy front patio, and they'll be bringing your booze by the pitcher.
The bottom(less) line: The drinks may be delicious, but they're not strong. If you're looking for a buzzy morning, ask the server to hold the vitamins—you'll take your bubbly straight up.
60 Thompson Street (Spring & Broome), 212.219.2000

Bia Garden (Lower East Side)
The deal: Order a brunch entree between noon and 4pm, then put down an extra 15 bucks for two hours of nonstop Asian brews.
The vibe: This minimalist Asian-style garden lends a grown-up air to a decidedly immature afternoon undertaking: pounding brewskis. A cold Tsingtao is perfect for washing down spicy lemongrass sausages or an eastern omelet with Chinese pork. A cold Kingfisher is perfect for washing down a cold Tsingtao.
The bottom(less) line: Didn't pick up a dude last night? Bia is the boozy brunch where the boys are.
154 Orchard St.(@ Stanton St.), 212.780.0010

Open Door Gastropub (Financial District)
The deal: $25 for unlimited brunch drinks and entrée.
The vibe: The FiDi isn't exactly known for its happening weekend scene, so Open Door knows it needs to offer something special to draw folks in. Did someone say pork belly eggs benedict? The AYCD price is a bit steep, but the extra coupla bucks gets you an extra coupla choices: standard mimosas, bellinis and bloodies are joined by "Man-mosas" (Blue Moon, Absolut Mandarin and OJ) and the "Hairy Dog" (vodka, OJ and grapefruit juice). Your acquired buzz will be strong enough to last until you reach a populated neighborhood.
The bottom(less) line: All you can drink man-mosas + cobbled streets = thank God the boss man commutes from Connecticut.
110 John St. (@ Pearl St.), 212.608.0200

The points being made here: food is overrated, and juice is for sissies. Focus your brunch efforts—and dollars—on finding the tastiest road to afternoon inebriation. Because as they say (at the Betty), it’s 5 o’clock somewhere.
