Brunch Spots in Newton and Where to Dine on New Year's Day

Believe it or not, there are a whopping 18 restaurants in Newton that serve brunch on Saturdays and/or Sundays. And that tally doesn’t even include the restaurants that serve breakfast or brunch every day of the week. Maybe the Garden City should consider changing its nickname to the Brunch City.

Here is a list of the Newton restaurants that serve brunch, their brunch hours, and a menu highlight. We are also including whether or not they will be serving brunch on Tuesday, Jan. 1, since New Year’s Day is a popular time to go out and enjoy a late midmorning/early afternoon meal while you recover from the previous night’s festivities.
