Rock brunch

Leave it to Williamsburg to take something as wholesome as brunch and turn it into a party.

Beginning in August, Macri Park — a new, 24-hour restaurant, coffee shop and bar — will start serving Sunday brunch with big help from an unusual ingredient: live DJs.

“It’s the best way to cure your Saturday night hangover,” said DJ Lauren Flax (pictured), the resident record spinner and a Williamsburg resident who has DJed parties around the world. Flax told GO Brooklyn that brunch with a DJ would be like an extension of Saturday night clubbing.

“Sundays call for laying out with a drink and sunglasses,” bar manager Rachel Herman-Gross said. She suggested heading to the cafe’s patio with an egg sandwich or slice of quiche and pairing it with one of their $5 drink specials. “I’m trying to have a party every day.”

Macri Park (462 Union Ave., at Metropolitan Avenue in Williamsburg) is open 24 hours. For information, call (718) 599-4999.
