Seen & Heard: Breakfast Sandwiches

••• “I moved to Tribeca a little over two years ago and have recently been searching for breakfast sandwiches in the neighborhood besides Zucker’s and Gotan,” emails K. “Do you have any recommendations?” I’m a traditionalist—two eggs and American cheese on a toasted roll (with salt and pepper) at Morgans—but now I’m trying only to eat humanely raised eggs, and I don’t think I can imagine asking Morgans about that. Inspired by the question, I tried one at Kaffe 1668 (pictured below), but I found myself wishing I had gone to Baked. A breakfast sandwich should be at least a little decadent.  Two Hands probably has something. The Odeon. Sarabeth’s. Bubby’s. Wichcraft used to have good options. Eataly? Fika? Gee Whiz, Square Diner, and Tribeca’s Kitchen, of course. Court Street Grocers if you’re above Houston. Never seen a breakfast burrito around here, but then I’m not a fan (breakfast tacos, on the other hand, are sublime). Mariachi’s probably has one.

••• State senator Daniel Squadron is having a town hall on Tuesday, November 15, at 6 p.m. at the DCTV Firehouse Building (87 Lafayette). RSVP: mayo@nysenate.gov or here.

••• Urban Archaeology put up signage in its new location saying it’ll open later this year.

Designed by Parks Gardener Richie Haugland, the garden will beautify an otherwise unplanted area of the park while providing an educational opportunity for children and adults alike. We hope to raise $1500 for plants and signage in the coming weeks and watch the garden’s metamorphosis take place in spring 2017. For campaign details and to view the garden plan, visit this page.” (That’s the plan below.)
