t West End Johnnie’s, you can get a side of Marley with your breakfast. Live reggae bands play here while you brunch on eggs, coffee, and other entrees from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. every Sunday to lure diners to this out-of-the-way spot in Boston’s West End. If you’re nursing a hangover, there are also decent bloody marys and mimosas. Hoeller
