6 Must-Haves To Survive A Hangover in NYC

Its around 7a.m. give or take an hour and as your eyes shutter open a multitude of thoughts race through your mind; “How did I get home last night? Please let there be water in arms reach, how much did I drink? I hope I didn’t do anything stupid last night, let me check my Snapchat story. Why in the world am I up at this hour? HOW am I going to get rid of this hangover?… I am never drinking again.”

Sound familiar? Although the truth to some of these questions may never be uncovered, fortunately we have some answers to how you can deal with that dreaded feeling after a night out.

Hangovers come in all different shapes sizes and forms, which evidently means, so do their remedies.

Popping bottles, sipping on a mojito fish bowl, enjoying decadent brunch foods and of course dancing, on tables chair and booths. As the day goes on the lights dim, the curtains shut and Bagatelle Brunch becomes more of what appears to be a nightclub over a brunch restaurant. Expect to have a hangover from your hangover recovery.
