    Picked up yummy sandwiches to eat back at Simon & Paola's (and of course some huge cupcakes -- which were a bit too huge actually!)

    The Roasted Chicken Salad is awesome. Apparently it's he exact same salad you can get at the Carlyle but almost $5 cheaper

    Flew in from Cali on a red-eye and came straight here for a breakfast sandwich. Sooooo yummy! There is mayo on it (even though it's not listed on the board), so ask for no mayo if you prefer.
