It's been several months since we updated our Brunch Heatmap (though we did give you the scoop on 2013 bottomless offerings in October). Several new restaurants have started brunch service since. Several spots have also revamped their brunch offerings. So it's time for a full-on reset of the Eater Brunch Heatmap. These places all either launched or revamped their brunch menus in the fall or winter months. Check out what they have to offer.
