NYC: Breakfast

I had breakfast this morning in a pretty neat little restaurant called Landmark Coffee Shop & Pancake House. It's right across the street from my hotel.

It's what I think of when I think "New York City" and "breakfast." They claim to be "famous"...but around here everyone and everything does (sometimes "World Famous" if you're lucky).

It was surprisingly inexpensive, too. I got two eggs, toast, coffee and funny looking hash browns for $3.50. A fiver with tip. My second meal in the city and I paid about as much for breakfast as I do for jukebox tunes at Waffle House.

The haste of NYC does have one identifiable victim: strawberry jelly. I asked for strawberry jelly and the waitress was nice enough to grab me some concorde grape. "We're too busy to start giving customers too much choice," she said.

Indeed. Nothing wrong with grape jelly I suppose. Better than mixed fruit.
