A night out with friends, fireworks, and a few too many festive drinks: If that's your plan for New Year’s Eve, it might be a good idea to add a morning-after plan of action to your list of resolutions. Nothing kicks a dreadful hangover to the curb like a hearty meal, so some top notch local restaurants will be up and running early on January 1, serving special restorative menus that might just be the perfect antidote to your over-indulgence.
From offerings of simple, comforting plates of hams and fried eggs to crafted three-course meals and full buffets, we've singled out eight of the best brunch menus in South Florida to help you start 2019 on the right track.

For the main course, choose from options such as the quiche lorraine with baby spinach salad, a crab back benedict with English muffin and hollandaise, or, for an extra $10, the 8 oz. black Angus filet mignon with gratin dauphinoise and super green spinach.
