Lips is the city's drag-dinner institution, and its Sunday Broadway Brunch pairs bottomless mimosas and Bloody Marys with Ginger Snap's cast camping through show tunes. The venue says it sells out nearly every weekend, which tracks with how many birthday tables show up. If you want a drag brunch that is a full show rather than background music, this is the classic.
What to expect
Expect a big, glittery dining room with tables packed toward the stage, brunch plates, a steady flow of drinks and a string of Broadway numbers from the queens. Tipping the performers is part of the fun. Groups celebrating birthdays or bachelorettes often get pulled into the show.
Good to know
- Take the E or M to Lexington Ave-53rd St or the 4, 5 or 6 to 59th St.
- Reserve well ahead; it books up most weekends.
- Bring small bills to tip the performers.
- Great for birthdays and bachelorette groups.
