Special Edition: I have no power for 5 days
and eat at Empire for every meal
since restaurants are still limited by the
mother-of-a that left a trail of No-Power
all over the Can-Do Capital of the World
Empire Cafe has great breakfast, and I should know since I ate it today and twice yesterday. I was just so happy to have hot hot coffee that I couldn't leave. Someone clever might say "Ike 'ant get enough."
There are a million reasons to go here: foccacia eggs, gingerbread waffles, generous fruit plates, half-price cake on Wednesdays, but the train whistle that keeps blowing in my ear is the free cookies you get with your cup of joe. There was a sign today that listed everything they didn't have (basil, liquor, bacon, pinot grigio, portabellas, etc) but the only thing on that list that was accompanied by a frowny face was cookies. So yeah, I was sad that there were no cookies, but I ordered my coffee with a shot of espresso and let all my worries slip away.
Parts of this city are scary dark. I am grateful for the coffee each morning brings.
