Well...I asked for one egg scrambled on a scooped out toasted sesame seed bagel (only in NY!!!) I got two eggs scrambled on a toasted un-scooped toasted sesame seed bagel. I repeated the order 3 three tres times! The counter guy looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language. I guess I was! The upside: $2.45 WITH a small cup of coffee. Can't beat that...Oh well...This place was filled with cute guys in hard hats and, I imagine, is a zoo at lunch time as they offer tons of options.

Some of what they offer...tons of choices here....

I am writing in green so you will see this post...I must branch out. I have 16,000+ photographs that I've taken. Many in NYC and elsewhere in this great and glorious world. I love to fiddle with Photoshop and I am sure that within the next couple of decades, I'll be fairly well versed in it. I LOVE digital everything! I love technology! God bless APPLE!!! (He/She has...haven't they...) Life is not just about food...and I wonder why not??? xoxoxoJ

A slice of heaven in Califon....

Visit Bex Kitchen

Main Street, Califon, New Jersey
908.975.3334 for directions, etc.

A charming little bistro in a beautiful part of the world. The service is warm and friendly as are the owners. Leave NYC behind. Relax. I went today, for brunch. DELICIOUS! Fresh food. Fresh air.

west of NYC!

A YUMMY PLATTER....

FRESH BAKED GOODIES...I drool....

Drive around this part of New Jersey...you won't be
disappointed. It's not called the Garden State for nothing!

If you come Monday through Saturday (I hope) you can eat AND buy lumber right next door. Sunday...you just eat. You know that's what you want! Oh how I love lumberyards!!!

La Baguette

Yesterday I was walking in the morning...as I try to do on a daily weekday basis...and got hungry as I do on an hourly basis...so I thought I'd eat out at the first diner/cheap (looking) place I came across. This was it. Avoid the place. Enough said.

Sarah's Kitchen...give it a shop

Sarah's Kitchen 725 3rd Avenue

I think I am going to wander Monday through Friday morning (give or take a day or two) and eat breakfast out...somewhere new every day. Cheap(ish) This is NY City after all. I could use some suggestions...I went to a pretty awful place yesterday. Sarah's Kitchen might put some Salt and Pepper and Napkins UPSTAIRS where one eats in. I know it's expensive...but in the grand scheme of things...come on.
