That’s “All You Can Drink,” and it is a key feature of a brunch that debuts this coming Saturday, Sept. 17, at Rang, a month-old Indian restaurant in Long Island City.
The AYCD (aka bottomless) part of the meal is limited to mimosas, and your challenge evidently is to see how many you can quaff in the space of an hour. (This latter-day college drinking contest is also a feature of brunch at Madam Ji, in the Village, which is a member of the same growing Indian restaurant family.)
The brunch itself will offer a choice of small and large bites, the former including butter chicken loaded masala fries, the latter a spicy lamb burger served with tomatoes, onions, and spicy masala aïoli. The cost, which includes the limitless mimosas, is $45.
Rang, 11-03 44th Avenue, Long Island City, 718-406-9338.
