Across Vermont, Massachusetts, and New York, Memorial Day brings back the traditions people look forward to each year. Town greens fill with parades and ceremonies, local shops see more foot traffic, and public spaces take on a more celebratory mood.

Burlington is especially lively with activity around the waterfront, Church Street, and the University of Vermont. Montpelier offers a quieter atmosphere, with farmers’ markets, cafés, and downtown streets that are easy to explore on foot. In Quechee, the focus shifts to scenic drives, time near the gorge, and afternoons spent outside.

Albany usually marks the weekend with civic events, neighborhood festivals, and local observances, while Hadley and Peabody lean more toward family gatherings, shopping, and relaxed afternoons around town.

It’s an ideal moment for a memorable brunch, and few places do it better than Skinny Pancake.

Why Brunch at Skinny Pancake Is a Must

Memorial Day brunch calls for something more inviting than the usual breakfast stop.

At Skinny Pancake, the menu moves seamlessly between sweet and savory. A hearty breakfast crêpe with eggs, cheese, and local vegetables feels right before a day outdoors, while something sweeter, like strawberries, Nutella, or maple, pairs perfectly with coffee after a waterfront walk or a morning downtown. 

There are breakfast classics, Vermont cheeses, local eggs, and plenty of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, so everyone at the table can find something they want.

The ingredients are part of the appeal, too. Skinny Pancake is known for its commitment to local sourcing and community partnerships, which gives the menu a distinctly regional feel.

Every location will be open throughout Memorial Day weekend, including our BTV location. If you are flying in or out, it’s a great way to fit in a proper meal before getting on the road or heading to the gate.

Planning Your Visit: Tips for a Great Memorial Day Brunch

Holiday weekends tend to get busier later in the morning. Arriving earlier can mean a quieter table, shorter waits, and a slower start to the day.

Skinny Pancake keeps things casual with a first-come, first-served setup. If the dining room is full, guests can join the waitlist, and takeout is also available for a more flexible stop.

Parking and accessibility look a little different from one restaurant to the next. Some locations are right in downtown districts, while others sit on the waterfront, inside a mall, on a college campus, or within an airport, so the arrival experience depends on where the day takes you. 

Brunch can slip easily into the rest of the day: before an afternoon in Quechee, after a morning in downtown Albany, or somewhere between shopping, sightseeing, and travel.
