Fancy Breakfast in Soho

Now THAT’s a fancy breakfast.

Oooo la la!!

I stayed at the Soho Grand Hotel last week, and ordered breakfast. I opened the aluminum tray cover (wow, just like in the movies!) and that is what I saw. I believe it’s called Eggs Benedict. It was an English muffin sliced into halves, with a sliver of smoked salmon, a soft-cooked egg on top of that, and melted butter with parsley. It was incredibly good. It also came with hash browns, which were good but rather mild. The smoked salmon was a little too pungent for me that early in the morning, but it was good. I will have to make some of these sometime for the family (when I have a kitchen again, soon!). I also got coffee… but it was just ONE cup in the carafe. The complimentary New York Times was nice. Not much to read in it, though, except some weird ads for best eye cream and Broadway shows. It went to serve its more important use as papers for the doggies. Guess how much this breakfast cost, total? $35.

Oy vey. Such is New York.

It was nice getting pampered a bit. Don’t worry, it didn’t all go to my head. I’m back into the daily grind of pounding the keys for work by day, and drilling and wiring for the new kitchen by night…
