Not only is Jan. 1 the day after a massive late-night, Champagne-fueled holiday, but it's also a Sunday this year. Everyone will most likely wake up in need of brunch.
Philly has many beloved brunch spots, and you probably already have a neighborhood favorite, but a new year means a new you, right? Pick a brunch based on your 2017 New Year's resolution.
