Ät frukost som en New Yorker

På det amerikanska caféet Jimmy & Joan's är det bagels på äkta New York-manér som gäller. Alla bagels bakas på plats och man väljer själv om man kör på en enkel och klassisk, eller maxar med matiga pålägg. Kristallkronorna, gulddetaljerna och den generösa takhöjden bidrar förstås också till känslan av att befinna sig i världsmetropolen, trots att det egentliga läget är ett stenkast från Avenyn.

Peaceful in the heart of town
