By A-Tooch | Published: May 24, 2010

A-Tooch and her +1 were treated to a brunch experience at the new Brother Jimmy’s in Union Square this weekend.

Miss Yunks and her mom were walking through Whole Foods looking for an idea for dinner. In the prepared food section, we saw a yummy looking tortellini salad with artichoke hearts and roasted red peppers. But it also had ham! Let’s make our own salad, without ham, I suggested.
