Bed-Stuy Soul Food Brunch, Then Sunday Cocktails From 3 PM
Catfish, cornbread and mimosas in a Lewis Avenue brownstone, then a short walk to a warm lounge open until 11 PM.
📍 Lewis Avenue to Marcus Garvey
🍳 Brunch at Peaches Lewis
Begin at 393 Lewis Avenue, where Peaches serves Southern comfort classics like catfish and cornbread in a Bed-Stuy brownstone. The menu draws on the Southern upbringing of Marietta Cade, the restaurant's namesake, and the weekend crowd fills the space for mimosas and French toast platters. Dinner plates run to wings or salmon with artichokes and brussels sprouts. On Sundays the first service runs from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
🍹 Afternoon Drinks at Confessions Bar
A short walk away at 333 Marcus Garvey Boulevard, Confessions Bar opens at 3:00 PM on Sundays and pours until 11:00 PM. The Bed-Stuy cocktail lounge pairs elegant decor with exceptionally warm hospitality, and the room carries the relaxed, attentive feel of a family-run business. Staff are known to join in the singing and dancing, and the drinks are reasonably priced.
🔗 Why the Order Works
The timing lines up neatly. Brunch at Peaches wraps at 4:00 PM, an hour after Confessions opens its doors, which turns the walk from Lewis Avenue to Marcus Garvey Boulevard into a natural break between plates and cocktails. Settle in at the lounge for the rest of the afternoon and evening, with the last round landing before the 11:00 PM close.
