| - My girlfriend and I went down to the square on Saturday morning and were going to try the brunch at Marigold's Kitchen. I'm glad that we stumbled across Gotham Bagels instead because it led to a fantastic breakfast and a good overall experience.
The main reason for stepping into the store was because I needed change for the parking meter, and because we couldn't find Marigold's. The woman behind the counter at Gotham was incredibly pleasant, she had a real down to earth personality and not only did she give me change but she also drew a map on paper of how to get to Marigold's. This was pretty shocking to me as I was essentially leaving their restaurant for the competition.
Well after that gesture, my girlfriend and I looked around and realized that Gotham actually looked fairly good themselves, so we decided to stay and eat. They had a full deli section of potato salads and other items, and a menu of dozens of different bagel sandwiches. The furniture was of a nice rustic wooden decor, and there was a TV with the basketball game on at a very appropriate volume.
While we waited for our food, the nice counter lady brought over a cinnamon roll for us (on the house). It was delicious, and I'm not even a big fan of that type of pastry. 10 minutes later we got our food, two salivating bagel sandwiches with fresh on-the-spot ingredients and uniquely flavored cheeses, sausages, etc (in the sandwich).
Overall we had a great time and will for sure be coming back again. It doesn't look like the place you'd get your daily breakfast from, but it's perfect for a nice Saturday or Sunday leisurely trip.
