Didn’t do NYE right the first time?

Chase away the Day One blues with brunches and New Year’s do-overs

You threw the confetti; you drank the champagne; and you paid a fortune for the privilege. "3-2-1-Woo hoo!"

New Year's Eve fell on a Thursday this year, so after the balloon-drops, the countdowns and the midnight smooches, it'll still be only Friday!

OK, so now what? Eat, drink and do it all over again at any number of the events designed with your post-New Year's comfort in mind. Just keep repeating: "Hair of the dog. Hair of the dog."

Eat!

Kerry Simon at Palms Place has beefed up his Sunday Brunch offerings for the New Year, kicking off with a special New Year's Day Brunch from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. The new offerings include a crepe station, Anson Mills graham pancakes, lobster or pulled-pork benedicts, Champagne bar, and a prime-rib station for $45 per person.

First Food and Bar's own Recovery Brunch from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. January 1-3 costs $24.90 per person and is stocked with hair-of-the-dog specials. Try the $5 tableside Bloody Marys or $10 bottomless Bellinis, Mimosas and Strawbellinis. DJ Jeff Retro spins a gentle chaser to the thumping still ringing in your ears from the night before.

In recognition of National Hangover Day (and no, that's not every Sunday), Serendipity 3 at Caesars Palace is offering a special Hangover Omelet ($12) made with bacon, French fries, mushrooms and cheddar. It's served with your choice of a waffle or sweet potato fries, as if an omelet padded with French fries needs any accompaniment at all.

Drink!
