Every weekend, there's always a line outside of Isabella's on 77th and Columbus. The outside seating is usually packed with people chowing down on pancakes and sipping mimosas. On Sunday, B and I decided to see what the commotion was all about. Our wait was a substantial 35 minutes long (we were told that it would be closer to 20 minutes), but ultimately proved to be worth it. We were given homemade banana bread and sweet olive/raisin bread to start. I ordered the Crab Benedict that came with a side of salad, a slice of cantaloupe and also a bellini. B ordered a burger that came with spicy fries, pickles, and a bloody mary. Our total bill came to $30, which we found to be quite awesome. My Crab Benedict tasted fantastic: the eggs were perfectly poached and the came at just the right temperature. Also at $15 per person, I will definitely be returning.
Enjoy!

A surprise breakfast/brunch that the bf made this morning. Mixed fruit bowl, slightly seared honey ham, and smoked salmon scrambled eggs. So cute! I'm such a lucky girl! ;-)

Breakfast Pastry

A cream-filled bun covered lightly with coconut shreds. This is what my mom feeds me (occasionally) for breakfast at home.
