I
love breakfast food as much as Ron Swanson loves, well, breakfast food.
Pancakes, omelets, waffles, crepes, yogurt covered fruit, scrambled eggs,
breakfast burritos, crab cake eggs benedict: you name it, I ravenously devour
it. So when I saw a LivingSocial deal specifically for breakfast, I nabbed it.
And last weekend, my husband and I went to sate our hunger before the rodeo.
If
it weren’t for the GPS, the café would be difficult to find. The address is
listed as “Broadway,” but it is closer to Avenue B, which runs parallel between
E Mulberry and Tuleta. If you are driving on Broadway, it is behind the Cheever
Books, where if you are lucky, you will see the owner doing push-ups while smoking
out front. Pass the book store, and drive all the way to the back of the
complex. The Park Motel Café is nestled in the back.
The
café was quiet when we entered, which I thoroughly enjoyed, because I don’t
like too many stimuli early in the morning. We ordered our food at the counter,
and then chose one of the few tables in the cozy shop. My husband’s coffee came
out promptly, and he nursed it while we waited for our food. The two hardiest
vegetarian options on the menu are the taquini and the panini, and they are
both customizable.
The
panini is pretty self explanatory, a grilled sandwich with an egg and up to
four veggies. The taquini, is more or less a panini with tortillas instead of
bread, which makes for a much lighter sandwich. My taquini was veggie filled
and filling, but it didn’t leave me feeling weighted down. It was seasoned with
just salt and pepper, simple but flavorful. My husband felt the same way about
his panini.
Recommendation:
Yes, for something simple, quiet, and out of the way.
