Happy New Year, breakfast eaters. It’s 2012, and that means, according to the Mayan calendar and countless subway-station preachers, the world will be coming to an end in a matter of months. So, we better get eating!
The WBC kicked off the last year of the world with brunch at Harper’s in Dobbs Ferry.

Moon River Grill

Ok, truth be told, Sylvia wasn’t the only WBC attendee at Moon River Grill this morning. In fact, 5 out of the 6 WBC members were in attendance. However, only Sylvia was responsible enough to provide a review. (Well, Jeff wrote something too, but it was only one sentence and the WBC executive board ruled that it wasn’t worth sharing with the public.) You can blame the slackerishness of the rest of the WBC on a variety of things: post-Thanksgiving malaise, colds, school, holiday shopping. Or, good old fashioned laziness. Thanks for representing, Sylvia. Thanks for representing.

Moderne Barn

430 Bedford Road
The WBC was long overdue for a more sophisticated brunch. Enter Moderne Barn in Armonk. Sophisticated? Yes. Affordable? Yes. Leisurely? Yes. Horses? Yes. Wait, what?
And, as with any WBC meal, we all learned something valuable this day. Today’s lesson: a vocal jazz cover of “Under the Bridge” by the Red Hot Chili Peppers is not a good idea, and shouldn’t be played as background music to brunch.
But that aside, we had a great time. How great, you ask? Only one way to find out…

IHOP

Haute Cuisine IHOP is not. But sometimes you just need something close, fast, cheap…and a little gluttonous in a trashy way. So, the WBC went to IHOP. We promise we’ll try to get back to more sophisticated restaurants in the near future.

Beyond the Bagel

At the request of at least one member, the WBC decided to have a cheap, quick breakfast this weekend. This led us to Beyond the Bagel in White Plains. Cheap? Yup. Quick? Yup. Good? Well, you’ll just have to read on to find out.

Le Grainne Cafe

Picture this: A quaint French cafe in the middle of Chelsea. Cozy tables arranged outside below large umbrellas. Servers with French accents. Larger than life cups of cafe au lait, fresh French bread, creme brulee. And a giant hole in the street being filled with tar.
Which thing doesn’t belong?
If you guessed creme brulee, you’d be wrong. If you guessed the tar, you’d be right. The WBC was treated to all the sights, sounds, and smells that road construction can offer. We watched as the giant hole was dug, we watched as it was filled with tar. We watched as the NYPD showed up to request to see the permit for said road work. We watched as the crew began to dig another hole further down the street, we watched as one crew member almost got run over by the backhoe, and we watched as the smartest crew member realized that the back door to the dumptruck wasn’t locked. We watched as tar dust wafted over to our table.
Dining outside was not our best move. Were we still able to judge the food? Did we even get to eat before we passed out from tar fumes? Let’s see how it all unfolded.
