    From the editor
    I went to a drag brunch at 1 Watson with two friends earlier this year and had the best time. We split a bottle of champagne, ate delicious food, caught up, and enjoyed some amazing performances.

    Oh, and the skyline from the venue? Unforgettable. It’s even better at night.
