Breakfast on Broadway

When a friend’s in Manhattan,

Amid all the din,

A breakfast on Broadway’s

The way to begin.

 

A place near the theater

Where she has to go

Means a leisurely stroll

Will lead right to her show.

 

The food will pass muster;

The booths will be large.

The waiters won’t rush you,

So you’ll be in charge.

 

The crowds won’t be there yet,

If early you meet,

Making it much more civil

When crossing the street.

 

Then after your breakfast,

Once she gets on line,

You’ll stroll north on Broadway

To Arts and Design.*

 

The day’s just begun,

But your stomach and heart

Will be filled with the comfort

This meal will impart.
