Last Sunday, my best girlfriends and I decided to have a fancy ""ladies about town"" brunch to celebrate ourselves and we chose the Polo Lounge--and it was everything we could have hoped for (except inexpensive, of course!). Old Hollywood glamour was abounding. The mimosas and Blood Marys were delicious, the smoked salmon and scrambled eggs were perfect, as was the fresh fruit. Another girl had steak tartare, and two had French toast, and we were all oohing and ahhing. We topped it off with chocolate mousse cake and an apple tart to share. It was divine. The meal was pricey, for sure. But we really felt like we were treating ourselves, and why shouldn't we once in a while?
Pros: old Hollywood glamor, see-and-be-seen place, delicious food
Cons: expensive
