This is a bright and cheerful breakfast place. You know their food is fresh because call the early morning working people are coming here to get their breakfast and lunch items it 's surrounded by police, fdny and industrial spaces, so it 's filled with workers who want good food at good prices. The mangu is delicious, I can do mangu with egg and onion, sometimes cheese, while I 'm sure the tres golpes is amazing I just cannot manage salami fried in addition to the rest. The sandwich they whipped up for me is pictured here, my egg alternative breakfast sandwich is cheese on a roll with the marinated onions. It was perfect. Bonus: serve your own coffee. Truly a dying tradition in NYC, but this is the old school give them cash and walk over and grab your cup of coffee and go. Even the decaf orange has caffeine in it because these owners know their customers need it! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
