Isn't it nice when people write things about which they have zero knowledge whatsoever? Oh, it's true there was a horrible and senseless (aren't they all?) killing there yesterday, but avoiding this place because of it would be like avoiding driving on 480 because (many more than 3) people have died on it. Now I expect he'll write, "can't you take a joke??" About murders that happened yesterday? No, I can't.
If you're going to avoid it do it for a good reason: The food is mediocre at best. There are so many better breakfast places, but if you need to be by 480 in Brooklyn, I guess it will do.
