NORMA'S, NYC Day 2


Although we had an incredibly late night at Babbo and could have slept till noon, we weren’t about to miss out on breakfast at Norma’s. Voted the best breakfast in NY by several sources, Norma’s menu is fun and whimsical, and features such items as “Lox and Lox of Bagel” and “Foie Gras Brioche French Toast”. There’s even “The Zillion Dollar Lobster Frittata” which is served with 10oz of caviar – all for the bargain price of $1000. Norma dares you to expense this.

SMOOTHIE SHOT
Watermelon, Raspberry & Pineapple

Norma’s breakfast version of an Amuse Bouche, this smoothie shot was the perfect thing to awaken our senses and get us ready for the day.

IRRESISTIBLE BANANA-MACADAMIA NUT FLAP JACKS
With Whipped Banana Brown Sugar Butter and Pecans

Still full from the night before, we opted to share breakfast and were glad that we did. These flap jacks were incredible and also incredibly filling. Made with chunks of sweet bananas, they were topped with a sweet brown sugar butter and candied macadamia nuts and pecans. It was so perfect as-is that it didn’t need the syrup it was served with.
