Tom's Diner

(SIDE NOTE: JUST REALIZED I WAS BEATEN TO THE PUNCH BY A CERTAIN LADY)

Duhdadodaddaa

I love Brooklyn. I really do. The longer I live here, the more I sing its praises. Now, I have one more reason. Tom's Diner. This diner was the basis for the ever popular Suzanne Vega song "Tom's Diner." It is an amazing food destination where good old fashioned diner food is given that added touch.

Who doesn't want chipotle sauce on their table or three types of butter including raison cinnamon, peach walnut, and strawberry? Or how about free coffee, cookies, strawberries and oranges while you wait in line? Free, in NYC?

Yes, its all true and fantastic.

I had the huevos rancheros which was perfect spicy with a homemade salsa and over easy eggs. My partners in brunch had some amazing pancakes made with ricotta and lemon. The overall decor was a mix of homemade signs and really great stained glass. I sat at the best booth as I had Ms. Vega's lyrics right next to me.

If you are ever in Brooklyn, take the Q or 2/3 to 7th Ave and Flatbush. Walk a few blocks to 782 Washington Ave to find Tom's.

Tom's Restaurant

It's hard to find a mom and pop anything anymore. Thank God in this day an age of Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, and Ihops, lives and thrives places like Tom's Restaurant in Brooklyn. They give you warm cups of coffee and complimentary home baked cookies and muffins while you wait for a table. They are famous for there Key Lime Rickey's and Egg Creams. They gave us the most delicious walnut butter, strawberry butter, and cinnamon butter for our silver dollar pancakes. The counter is to die for, the people are the nicest, the food is the fastest and freshest. Especially since Nancy and I take our eggs over easy, but we both like the whites to be a little browned on the outside. And Tom's made a perfect Medium over easy egg.

Brooklyn my dear I have a serious crush on you.
