It’s a big day for brunch around here, it seems. We’ve learned that Kendall Square’s Area Four kicks off brunch service this Saturday. Though there aren’t any Mike Tyson-inspired delicacies on the menu, the offerings do look pretty good. Because, after all, who doesn’t love absinthe and speedballs in the morning?
