There’s nothing better than getting a text from a long-lost friend asking you to come to brunch. However, there’s nothing harder than picking the perfect spot for the reunion. Our requirements were: cheap alcohol, decent food, large enough for an eight-top and preferably as far away from the UCI bike path as possible.

After a ton of debate, we ended up planning to meet at new Buddy’s around 12:30 PM. I was rather excited about this choice, as I used to love old Buddy’s and have yet to make it to the new one.
