Is there a good spot for breakfast within a few blocks of the square? Mon Sep 07 16:04:50 -0700 2009 171170 josephnl 1 5011823 I'd go to Kenny & Zuke's as my first choice - they make their own bagels and bialys which are really good and their other breakfast stuff is good too. My second would be Mother's (and if you go to Mother's spring for the french press coffee, it's extra but really good). Mon Sep 07 16:15:15 -0700 2009 5011792 11210 JillO 1 5011934 Kenny & Zuke's for Jewish deli or Bijou Cafe for classic PacNW breakfast.

It sounds like you're staying at either the Nines or the Hilton, and in either case it's an easy walk to Kenny & Zukes Deli in one direction, or hop on the street car and head to Nel Centro in the other direction.
