What is good for breakfast around here? (I am looking for things that I can pick up after I get off the train at Canal or Grand St. and take into the office, not a big sit-down breakfast). If you give me suggestions, I will definitely try them and report back.

Also, there's Oro on Broome and Mott for coffee and fresh-baked goods. There's also a Starbucks on Canal near Centre or Lafayette, Sadly, the Pancake House on Grand and Centre is kind of terrible. I live in the area and want to love it, but just can't. Thu Nov 05 08:36:04 -0800 2009 5157846 14786 Oliverstreet 1 5158274 Thanks. This morning I actually got pretty decent coffee at Acquadolci, right across the street from my new office! And fresh ricotta & sullivan st. bakery bread from DiPalo's - can't go wrong there. But I guess I was hoping to learn where to get good breakfast congee, rice crepes, any particularly good buns or other breakfast items. I've popped into a few bakeries but there are a lot of them and none have been standouts so far.

I decided to try fresh rice noodles with shrimp instead. They were really good! I also like this place for roast meats. Fri Nov 06 07:34:59 -0800 2009 5158448 210128 Westminstress
