Pershing Square

Best breakfast we had during our stay in NYC! We ate here the morning before flying out. They kindly stored our luggage while we ate. Our server was very nice and brought our food SUPER fast! All food was expertly prepared and delicious 😋 The Oatmeal and eggs benedict were amazing. Definitely get a booth with a window on either side of the restaurant to watch the passers-by!

We were looking for a late lunch spot. This place caught our attention and we were quickly seated in a great window booth. Service was quick -- there were few other diners at our off-hour mid-afternoon craving. We ordered a chicken bacon club to split along with a salad and fries. The ordering was the high point.

But it was lacking any semblance of real food. Meanwhile, in our great booth seat we watched the cascading line outside of Los Tacos No. 1. Even mid-day that place was hopping.

I order the same thing every time, the pancakes, because they are (were) literally the best I have ever had! They even used to have a small, unadorned sign saying "World's Best Pancakes" in the front window. Unlike the "best coffee" sign in Elf, this statement was true! But today, I found out that they no longer serve this New York treasure. I was given an order of pancakes that I could get at any local diner or bagel shop.

I sent them back and got the waffle in
