Oh, brunch. That weekend meal unlike any other, which in its ideal form features great food, good company and plentiful drinks. These are things New Orleans excels at, so it's no wonder that we've got some great brunches. Here, then, we present the updated Eater NOLA Brunch Heat Map as the weekend approaches, featuring the hottest brunches in the city right now. There are tons of great spots for brunch in Nola, but these are places that have either opened or added brunch in the last year. For even more recommendations check out this map of Eater Reader's favorite brunch spots.

Think we missed something? Have a favorite brunch that opened in the past year and deserves to be here? Think one of these brunches just isn't so hot anymore and should be removed? E-mail or let us know in the comments.
