Description: Yes, they serve lunch, too—good deli food like Mettayya’s Knish-Wich (corned beef, pastrami, or turkey on a grilled potato knish) as well as a variety of burgers, including one that’s vegetarian. But Lenny’s for breakfast is not to be missed. Plan on several minutes just to work your way through the menu, which lists everything from oatmeal to Stuffed Crab Benedict to one of Lenny’s Bagel City creations. Or you can go with the more usual eggs, pancakes, French toast, or waffles. But many of their full breakfasts start with an appetizer basket of Danish pastry to take the edge off while you wake up—and it’s good pastry, not convenience-store stuff. There’s a kids’ menu (ages 10 and under) and a seniors menu (ages 55 and older—seven forms of picture I.D. required). Plus you’ll never run out of things to talk about—just look up and read the ceiling to each other.Lenny’s is open 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. all year long except for a few days in September. Both breakfast and lunch items can be ordered anytime during the day. There is a $1 charge for shared plates. Lenny’s marks vegetarian items on their menu.
