If there is one thing Manhattanites can all agree on is that weekends are pretty much for sleeping in after a long night out, and then heading off to grab some delicious brunch on both Saturday and Sunday. It is sort of our little version of the best day after remedy you could possibly imagine. With the weather being as cold as it is outside, we are hurrying our little butts off to whatever brunch place we love to enjoy what they have to offer. So what do we here at Manhattan Digest think are some pretty great Winter brunch spots to enjoy with your friends and family? Take a look.

An Interview with Anne Nelson, Playwright & Screenwriter of The Guys
Anne Nelson had tough choices to make. As an eager twenty-something from Oklahoma, she looked forward to seizing opportunities beyond the panhandle state, but questioned whether or not she had the fortitude to deal with traumatic events. She came to the conclusion that a choice to back away from life’s discomfort is not a healthy way of living and took the plunge into journalism. It took her to Central American war zones in El Salvador and Guatemala. In her position as a foreign correspondent, she would meet fellow journalists for coffee and days later, would learn that they had been tortured and killed by death squads. “Suddenly, I came back to New York and would attend dinner parties where I felt like the ‘weird one’ because I just wasn’t on the same wavelength,” she said during a recent phone interview. “Normalcy meant working my way back to a state where I’d be able to fit in.”

No More Adjusting with Tommy John’s Valentine’s Day Gift Set
When it comes to being a man, there are a few things on each of our list that quite frankly should be bought with quality and a couple extra bucks thrown in the mix. Good cologne, a nice meal out every once in a while, and most importantly- the underwear that we are wearing. Gone are the days where we buy cheap, easy to rip underwear in bulk that we have to keep restocking every couple of months and spending our days readjusting ourselves at all times of the day. Well just in time for Valentine’s Day, Tommy John has developed a great gift set for the holiday that is designed to make what you are wearing feel like a second skin.

Coldplay’s Chris Martin Rocks Global Citizen Armband at SB50
Last night at Super Bowl 50, we saw some pretty incredible and amazing moments, both from the sports and music field. Peyton Manning and The Denver Broncos triumphantly won over the favored Carolina Panthers, which is a pretty great punctuation mark for Peyton’s amazing long sentence of a career. Millions of people were ecstatically waiting for the halftime show, in which superstars Beyonce, Bruno Mars and Coldplay rocked the house to commemorate the 50th year of this legendary game being played. Upon closer look, you would have noticed that Chris Martin was wearing a Global Citizen armband, an organization that has a goal of ending extreme poverty by the year 2030. There is, however, a Manhattan connection to this story.
