I thought of keeping it quiet, however ML has been good to me... @Sarah,

The thing weighs a pound, is the size of thick frisbee and has a 50:50 ratio of fat to sugar, but that sucker is GOOD> My poor fiance is going to wind up married to a porker because I have no shame or will power with those god damn fritters. I'm hoping you all go buy them before I can. Save me from myself.

The home fries are sliced potatoes with some spices (they basially suck) and the toast is white or wheat, lightly toasted. I personally go for a sandwich - two eggs lightly scrambled on toasted whole wheat with a little butter for 99cents, I skip the potatoes. Can't beat the price ratio. If you are hungry, go for the platter. I see bike messengers lining up there every day. Regarding the mediocrity of the breakfast platter, they do have hot sauce and ketchup, so you can always sauce it up.

Cheap. and I kind of like their slightly doughy everything bagels with egg, bacon, swiss and hot sauce... I tend to swing by The Homefront Deli from time-to-time for breakfast sandwiches.

Also good is the breakfast specials at Isadora's on 52nd - I got a sausage, egg & cheese on an english muffin for 1.99 yesterday. I'm not overly discerning about my personal hangover special, but they do a decent job. I’m a new fan of the Curry Pan at Cafe Zaiya in the morning.

(3rd ave and 55-56th). $4.50. They have a ton of under $5.00 egg sandwiches, all gigantic. Double what PAX does.
