Verboten, the buzzing Williamsburg nightclub located conveniently down the street from our humble VICE commode, is currently on quite the tear. With only a couple months under their belt, the long-time NYC party promoters behind the business have established a world class venue, top-notch programming and production, and most recently, the announcement of their long awaited Sunday DJ Brunch. This new schedule is Brooklyn's own answer to off-hours clubbing at international hotspots like Berghain and Barcelona's recently closed ElRow. On this side of the Atlantic, breakfast raves are slowly appearing, acting as a home for morning "bravers." Even a few lunch time raves seem to be popping up as a remedy for the mid-day work slump. Verboten, however has chosen to strut their stuff in the form of a hollandaise-soaked brunch rave… because who doesn't love brunch? It's the time where you get to bask in your mind-bending hangover, the glory or failure of your previous night's sexual conquests, and of course enjoy a bloody or Bellini, or two. So why not add a little bit of the untz untz to all those amazing things? Beginning May 18, Verboten will open up their skylit Cabaret Bar at 12PM, with a rotating cycle of DJs spinning from 4pm into the wee hours of the night. Food will be cooked up by acclaimed Chef Nick Grosz who will be throwing down not beats, but instead a delicious smorgasbord of everything from Peekytoe Crab Cakes to Beets and Wild Arugula. All of this is quickly making me quite hungry, so I think I'll end here with Verboten's upcoming Brunch DJ dates and lineup. See you all on the dancefloor. And no I won't share my Eggs Benedict.Upcoming Verboten Brunch DJ Dates
