The Boot Scootin’ Brunch

August 19, 2009

WHAT:             Need more jolt with your morning java? Get your belt buckles shined and your saddles in gear, because faster than you can say “giddy up”, Bella Luna Restaurant and The Milky Way Lounge, located at 284 Amory Street in Jamaica Plain, has launched their all new Boot Scootin’ Brunch. Kicking off every Saturday morning, customers can look forward to some good eats along with live country music; temporarily whisking you away to where the green grass grows, without ever having to leave your beloved metropolitan zip code. The Boot Scootin’ Brunch takes place every Saturday morning from 11:00am to 3:00pm.

                        The Boot Scootin’ Brunch is a great excuse to come out for some savory and sweet brunch dishes and a chance to burn those delicious breakfast calories off with some serious BOOT SCOOTIN’ BOOGIE. Don’t forget to catch your breath long enough for a hand-crafted morning cocktail. If you can stop square-dancing long enough, order up a servin’ of the Grand Slam Scram ($7), where you’ll devour the scrambled eggs topped with cheddar cheese, bacon, caramelized onion hash browns, and topped off with a dollop of sour cream.

                        After experiencing this guilty pleasure getaway at Bella Luna, rest assured you’ll be able to return to the hustle and bustle of your Boston routine….just leave those “yee-haw’s” at the door.

A variety of 45 handcrafted martinis, spirits, wine and beer are served in the full-service 360° lounge. The 140-seat restaurant also boasts a 20-seat outdoor patio, private function room and dance floor.
