You can be adventurous with a backup plan! Tosca, an award-winning restaurant focusing on local ingredients, is throwing a Cinco de Mayo brunch! Mexican and Mexican-inspired dishes are available, as well as the classic brunch standbys (e.g. omelette station, waffle station, bacon and sausage, carving station, baked goods, smoked seafood). I'll be happy to post the non-Mexican-inspired portion of the menu if anyone's interested.

They even throw in a fashion show! Models wearing spring fashions for ladies will be roaming around the restaurant. :-)

Tosca tends to be pricey (due to the use of local ingredients?), so I only made a reservation for 6, but the group size is expandable . . .
