Cover story: Brunch with a buzz

When it comes to brunches, everyone knows about the waffles and omelets. But what if you're hankering for something with a little kick? We order up brunch cocktails at nine restaurants. Also, check out our guide to area brunch spots.

One the cover: With the Adam Sandler film, "Punch-Drunk Love," as inspiration, student Antonio Mazzulla, 22, sits at Coco Bella, 1323 E. Brady St., in the company of several brunch cocktails. Among them is one of the restaurant's drinks, a Bellini (it's the champagne flute in the center). Jon Jaeger assisted the photographer on this shoot.
