Probably the best breakfast in Boston, but the lines are crazy on the weekend. Not place to go if you looking decor. All the specials are hanging on the walls written on pieces of paper. I have been there in a long time though go it might have changed.

Best bite: pancakes ... any kind you like ... the best I've ever had.

When I travel to NYC for business, I stay at the Lucerne Hotel on West 79th. If you can expense it, this is a great breakfast. It is pricey! It is a touch of Southern France.

Best pick: Provenchal Omelette

A great stop between Burlington and Montpelier on I89. Marv, the owner, might just sit down and have a chat with you. They have a great chef and an awesome waitstaff. They have been there forever because Marv give them benefits.

What I love about this place is not that there is always a line on the weekend but that they have a deal with the bar next door, The Monkey Bar, for you to hang out while you wait. You can have coffee, play pool and play Ms. Pacman.

The menu is great, but the specials are what we come for. Out of this world! Vegetarians delight!

St. Simon Island is a gem as is its neighbor, Jekyll Island. I've been going there for years and I believe this is the best breakfast in the area. The location is great as well. It is near shops and a dog-friendly beach.

The restaurant was founded by three friends who all had the same birthday, you guessed it, the 4th of May.
