You probably recognize the title phrase from Old-World European lingo which has morphed into our word “breakfast”. For most people, myself included, it’s their favorite meal of the day and, according to nutritionists, the most important.
If you’re a breakfast hound, here are some suggestions for packing on those delicious calories :
Poopie’s: Yep, you heard me. I couldn’t make this stuff up (nor would I want to). It’s been a Glens Falls tradition for year and year and years. That’s where you go to get the dish on what’s going on around town. Fried eggs, bacon, stacks of pancakes, jam and jelly served in those little rectangular, plastic containers, and strong coffee. Everyone loves it and every town has one just like it. 54 Lawrence St. 518-792-6155.
On the other end of town just as you enter Glens Falls off of Exit 18 from I-87 you’ll find Steve’s Place (194 Broad St). It’s one of those comfy, run-into-everyone-you-know place. The friendly staff have probably worked there for years (which is always a good sign) and you’ll see a variety of blue collar, white collar, and every other color collar folks chowing down. Good stuff.
Rock Hill Cafe is tucked away in Exchange Plaza (off of Hudson and Elm Sts). It’s a laid-back, casual and quasi-funky place where you’ll be welcomed by manager Beth Wadleigh. Rock Hill Bakehouse is known throughout the region for its spectacular hearth baked breadks, biscottis & scones. Diet? What diet? Order at the counter, grab a table, pull out your laptop and the world is your oyster.
For those of you who enjoy a little more refined fare, The Chocolate Mill offers somewhat smaller proportioned but equally delicious morning meals. Eggs boursin, Danish apple pancakes, frittatas, and orange-walnut stuffed pecan toast, as well as excellent aromatic coffees, lattes and expressos. If you ge there at the right time, you can take a seat next to the window and watch the Glens Falls’ world go by. Has wi-fi hook-up, too. 518-338-3784.
All of these restaurants also serve lunch & dinner, except Poopie’s which also only serves lunch.
Please pass the syrup & bye for now, Alice
