Best of NYC....a really cheap breakfast....

Magazines, like this month's ultra-slick Manhattan magazine, knock themselves making lists of reasons why we should love NYC. I have my own list and it's decidedly different from their's. 

I'm going to run my own list in dribs and drabs when I can but here's one reason to love NYC: you can get a really cheap breakfast on the run. In the morning all over NYC, you can grab a coffee and giant pastry on nearly corner thanks to those ubiquitous coffee carts that seemingly appear and disappear every day between the hours of 7 a.m. and 11 a.m. Where do they come from? Where do they go? Who knows… 

All I know is that they're old reliables, hawking decent coffee for a dollar, and nutritious (?) pastries and muffins for slightly more. It's an authentic NY breakfast for busy A-types on the go....and it's healthy. Well, not really, but what do you want for $2? Check them out in midtown…who needs a $4 Starbucks when you have these guys?
