Chompie's is the closest thing to a "taste of home" for me, a native NYer. This is the only place that has a black and white cookie that resembles in taste and texture an authentic b&w cookie from a NY deli. Even AJ's b&w cookie is a travesty, and I love most everything else in AJ's dessert case. But I digress...
I visit Chompie's about once a month for breakfast or brunch. The bagels and bialys are great. My favorite brunchy thing is the Arizona Benedict - a toasted bialy topped with turkey ham (as a non pork-eater I love places that have turkey options!), avocado, tomato, and perfectly poached eggs. Oh how I love that gooey yolk running all over everything on my plate.
I've always had great service here, and even on Saturday morning with a party of 12, I have never waited more than 15 minutes to be seated. Keep on keepin' on Chompie's.
