It’s not every day that a member of the WBC hits a milestone age. This time it was Sylvia’s turn (but to be polite, we won’t say which milestone–let’s just say it’s over 10 but under 90). So, the WBC had to celebrate in grand style, lest we feel the wrath of our breakfast czar. What would we do? Well, nothing says celebration like a birthday brunch in Manhattan, and Sylvia selected Freemans, a rustic-style hipster haven tucked down an alley in the Lower East Side. Freemans offers a full menu of hearty brunch items ranging from standard fare like eggs, pancakes, and mac and cheese to more creative dishes like Devils on Horseback and smoked trout, both of which were enjoyed by members of the WBC. And if you just need a little absinthe to go with your bacon (like Reid), Freemans offers a range of cocktails to wash down your meal. So, what did we think? Did the Devils on Horseback gallop away? And how old is Sylvia? (We’ll never tell…and no, that’s not an intentional reference to Gossip Girl.) Read on to find out.
