NYC: Breakfast at Miro

Okay, so sit down breakfasts are great and all, but who's got that kind of time? I'm not a big breakfast eater anyway. I usually grab a cup of tea or coffee and a piece of toast or something. I know there's that whole bit about breakfast being the most important meal of the day...but I disagree. I think the most important meal should be when you're actually awake enough to taste it.

Besides, waking up at 7 a.m. eastern is like waking up at 6 a.m. back home time.

So today I stopped in at Miro Cafe for breakfast. It's a classy looking place on Broadway. At first my simple order of a Vanilla Chai and a bagel with strawberry jelly (I don't know what it is about strawberry jelly...I just like it) was met with a pissy mood on the other side of the counter. But I guess my southern charm...and a tip...did some kind of magic and the server got really happy and actually had a smile as I was leaving.

If your job consists of serving breakfast, people that come in are already annoyed enough with having to be awake so early. The last thing they should have to deal with is someone who is equally ticked about being at work.
