Why don’t New Yorker’s eat breakfast? Needing to arrange an early meeting and desirous of a light atmosphere and excellent food, I drew a blank. Indeed, I wasn’t even aware of any restaurants outside of a hotel that open of a morning! The Four Seasons and Norma’s at the Parker Meridien are a wonderful treat, but I find it dissappointing that if ostentation is not the intention, choice is extremely limited and often predicated on the weekend brunch rush. I am nostalgic for London, home of the all-day-breakfast.

On this particular morning, creativity led us to a great discovery along the path less travelled. The next time I pass the dinner crowd spilling out the entrance of this wildly popular South Indian establishment I will smile to have been and to have breakfasted.
