2) Cartagena Brunch, JW Marriott Marquis

The Latin American sharing brunch has a vibrant, jungle-themed ambience that is nothing short of spectacular. No, really. Its 72nd-floor location will leave you feeling like you’re literally dining in the clouds while the DJ will have you involuntarily busting a move the entire time. That’s just the entertainment. The food is great for those looking to taste the very best dishes that South America has to offer. Our favourites? The ahi tuna poke and the Puerto Rican braised short rib – they are SO good.

Singer and guitarist Richard Simon Kennedy will also be on hand to ensure that you dance the night away with some classic Union Jack tunes. Think everything from Dexys Midnight Runners’ Come On Eileen! to I’m Gonna Be by The Proclaimers. Sweet.
