Superman, Spider-Man, and other superheroes have been spending their time at the Milleridge Inn in Jericho. It is all part of the popular restaurant’s ‘Character Brunches’ that let kids intermingle with their favorite cartoon heroes for the day. Sara Fingerman of the Dover Group, which helped bring these events to the Milleridge and other Long Island restaurants, said that the brunches were inspired by restaurant owner Butch Yamali. “The owner of the Dover Group, Butch Yamali, wanted to put together children-oriented themed events at the restaurant because he has a soft spot for kids,” said Fingerman. “He wanted to bring cheer to them by letting them interact with some of their favorite Disney characters.” The events include a Superhero Brunch, which took place on September 30th, a Masquerade Ball, which took place this past Sunday, and a Royal Brunch on November 25th, where kids dress up as kings, queens, princes, and princesses. “We started these events last year with a trial-run Royal Brunch, where kids came dressed as Cinderella, Snow White, and Rapunzel,” said Fingerman. “It turned out to be very successful with a buffet portion included, a DJ, and a scheduled meet-and-greet with some of their favorite Disney characters.” The brunches are held in two different time slots throughout the day. The first one is held from 11AM to 1PM, and the second one is held from 2PM to 4PM. The cost to attend the events is $45.95 for adults and $29.95 for children ages 2-12. The recent Masquerade Ball was held in conjunction with the Inn’s Halloween themed Haunted Village display. As part of the Ball, kids were encouraged to interact with some of the spooky creatures located inside of the village. Some of the characters in the village’s Monster Museum included Twisty the Clown from the TV show American Horror Story, Annabelle the Evil Doll, and various monsters and witches. The themed brunches also take place at The Coral House in Baldwin.
