Google New York brunches with power users at Poco

On a recent Saturday afternoon, we hosted a brunch for some of our most enthusiastic Google Places users at Poco, a restaurant and lounge on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Beloved by many New Yorkers for its party-like brunch atmosphere, Poco is a fantastic place to go when you’ve gathered up a big group of friends and you’re ready to “brunch hard,” as they say here in the Big Apple.

Over the course of three hours, we tasted many different delicious dishes and drinks, with favorites being: the chorizo hash, the jalapeño margaritas, the Bloody Marys with blue cheese stuffed olives, the lobster mac ‘n’ cheese, the applewood-smoked bacon and — of course — the lobster Benedict:

A wonderful time was had by all, and even Mr. Emoji stopped by for a visit:

Everyone loves Mr. Emoji, especially Matt
