Reading time: 4 minutes
Everyone is doing brunch these days, and the Magic City is not about being basic. So, we rounded up some unique Birmingham brunches that serve their mimosas with a twist.
1. The Taylor Swift Brunch—Black Market & Grill
Whether you’re a Swiftie or not, I won’t believe you can’t bop to at least one of her songs. But if not, they’ll start to sound pretty great after a few mimosas. In addition to Taylor’s tunes, they’ll even be menu-themed items from Tswizzle herself. We’ll let you finish, but this might be the best Birmingham brunch of all time.
