replying to u/misstheolddaysfan: Seconding hot dog breakfast at rudy's. I think they do the deviled egg jar too. So there's your meat and eggs. Also maybe down the hatch but its not what I would consider a dive bar.
“The food is so good the drinks are amazing. And I'm pretty sure they do all the cooking using tiny corner countertop appliances. Its one of my favorite places.”

replying to u/eldersveld: [Buvette](https://ilovebuvette.com/) I keep wanting to try more of their menu but it's hard to peel myself away from the croque madame. It's a bit hard to cut through, but so damned good overall that I can't complain. Had this one not five hours after having capped a late night with a slice from Joe's. In my experience, if you get there early enough for breakfast then you don't have to worry about the lines, even on weekends. [Schaller & Weber](https://schallerweber.com/) Yeah, they're not cheap, but sometimes I want a specific thing from them and nothing else will do: their sausages, goulash, egg salad... and this andouille rice that they have. I find it addictive and recommend getting a big ol' tub of it to take home and gobble down. My only problem with delis this good is that I always end up walking out with more than I intended. [Le Gaz](https://www.legaz.cafe/) This was my first experience with Vietnamese coffee and holy crap. So delicious I wanted to chew it. I got the "cà phê muối", which is their iced coffee with condensed milk plus a salted cold foam. Bit of a wait, but so worth it. [Homemade Dumpling](https://www.yelp.com/biz/homemade-dumpling-new-york) ... and then it was a few blocks over to this place, to inhale ten steamed dumplings. For anyone that doesn't know, this place used to be China North. Thick-skinned dumplings, the opposite of what you'd get at, say, Shu Jiao Fu Zhou, and sometimes I'm in the mood for that.
