Breakfast Redux: So let's try this one more time... yesterday, I asked for breakfast recommendations- but didn't turn the comments on until the afternoon (what can I say?  I am an idiot.)  One person recommended dishes, and another pointed out the $1 oatmeal special Jamba Juice is doing for the month of March, but I'm sure there are better options than that. Anybody got anything?

Midtown Breakfast: The New York Times Under $25 column this morning rounds up the best breakfasts in Midtown, and it includes porridge and ackee & saltfish from the Jamaican Dutchy and avena from Margon- plus a mention of El Tequilazo, that place I was asking about last week, and a few more that sound pretty damn good.  What's your favorite breakfast stop?

Goodburger Discontinues Breakfast; Egg Topped Burger Lovers Cry

This amazingness is no more.

This is the part of my job I like the least… much like a cop telling a parent their kid is dead I have the unfortunate job of letting everyone know that Goodburger has discontinued selling breakfast.  This means no more breakfast burger over a bed of hash browns topped with an egg.  Goodburger now opens at 10am everyday, only serving their lunch menu.  I… promised… myself… I… wouldn’t… cry…

Goodburger… I begged you to have egg topped burgers added to your lunch menu, and this is how you respond?  Getting rid of them entirely?  It’s almost as much of a slap in the face as not being on your wall.  I resubmit my plea.  Please don’t let the egg topped burger go by the Midtown wayside.  It’s the only way you can distinguish yourself from the Five Guys/Burger Joint onslaught.  Pretty please with an egg on top?

As you know, I don’t really write about breakfast in Midtown, mostly because I don’t eat breakfast in Midtown.  Lunch is more my thing.  But occasionally something will come along that just demands to be written about.  Like this, which I noticed on Goodburger’s Breakfast menu:

Whaaaa???  Are you kidding me.  Seriously.  I mean… No you didn’t! Oh, and in case you were wondering, those *are* harsh browns underneath the burger.  Greatest breakfast sandwich of all time?  I’m trembling just thinking about it. 

The real thing, in all its glory, after the jump… Read more »
