went today for breakfast in a sort of rush, but didn't want to feel rushed (yeah, confusing).
both of us ordered traditional breakfast - 3 eggs, home fries, toast, fruit.
we both went with poached eggs (medium for my friend, soft for me), rye toast
the poached eggs were freaking perfect! so many places don't do poached, and others make them badly. no problem here. the medium were medium - still bright yellow. the soft were moist but not raw/runny.
rye toast went well with the poached
the fruit was a bit disappointing - 2 grapes, one small orange slice and a tiny piece of melon
the home fries were just that - potatoes, fried. no crazyass herbs and spices messing them up
two breakfasts with tea - including tax/decent tip - the total was about $15 - kinda hard to beat that
attentive but not cloying service
New York Cafe hit the mark again (and the steady flow of happy customers seemed to prove that it's still the standard there)
