Meet New York’s most outrageous brunch offering, courtesy of Noah and Rae Bernamoff’s .
It’s a 70-layer blini tower, and AMNY reports that it takes 30 minutes just to compile it, which doesn’t count the time it takes a prep cook to make each of the 35 blini that comprise its structure.)
Inside each layer: a mishmash of sour cream, scallions, chives, pickled fennel and onions, two types of pickles, smoked salmon, whitefish salad, smoked and peppered mackerel, hard-boiled eggs, smoked sable, bacon, red onions, dill and ikura (salmon caviar).
Mile End plans to offer just one each weekend — and only at the Brooklyn location.
Write to us if you’re brave enough to try it and let us know how it is!

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
