breakfast

I am looking for a good cheap breakfast place somewhere
in the vicinity of Union Square...any suggestions?

The Cafe at ABC Home is wonderful, great food in an
antique-filled room (where everything is for sale) and
it is usually not crowded except for take-out.

Time Cafe on lafayette has unbelievable pancakes. And,
a couple of blocks south, NoHo Star has great french
toast.

I love the City Bakery, which I know has been written
about on this site before. In the mornings they serve
oatmeal and have a nice selection of fixin's. Their
tarts are among the best I've tasted in NYC, and I very
much enjoy their new lower-fat (but not quite low fat!)
muffins--Blueberry and Cherry, both of which are filled
with more than the standard portion of fruit. An added
plus is that they use all organic flour in their baked
goods, and use fresh ingredients from the neighboring
market. It's also quite a nice place to sit in the
morning.

And of course, they are famous for their hot chocolate.

The City Bakery sounds worth a trip. Where is it
please?

Oops! Sorry about that. The City Bakery is on 17th
street between Union Square and 5th ave. (closer to
Union Square). It's on the south side of the street.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the follow-up. I was actually going to head
over there but got side tracked and ended up eating
lunch elswhere...but next trip in...
