“Shalom Japan is one of me and my wife’s favorite places to eat. The matzoh ball ramen has forever changed how we see matzoh ball soup, nothing else seems to measure up after that, not even the matzoh ball soup at Mile End.”

in:Great breakfast places3 pts
replying to u/petestein1: Mile End. An elevated Jewish deli with a bit of a Montreal twist. Skip Cafe Luluc as suggested by another. It’s just a decent diner. Daily Provisions is excellent, but I’m not sure it’s worth a destination breakfast. It’s just a solid “I’m nearby and don’t want crap” choice. I would think any Danny Meyer restaurant in a hotel would be truly excellent. Also, Egg In Williamsburg.
