To fight off the depression of having to go into the office on a Sunday morning, Jon, Ashley and I decided to start our day off right by going for breakfast at The Tallest Poppy (www.thetallestpoppy.com) located at 631 Main St. Now if you were to meet a friend here for the 1st time you might think that your friend was playing a little trick on you and actually giving you the address to some abandoned building or one of those places where you get clean needles or something. But once you open the front door you will actually discover an adorable little diner with an eclectic assortment of chairs from my Baba's basement. There are no menus, only a list of breakfast items on a sign which your server will happily describe for you. After making the kind man run through the entire menu, all three of us ordered the Cafe Breakfast - item #1.
I had the vegetarian version with eggs, breakfast potatoes, sauteed vegetables (as a substitute for the non-kosher meat) and focaccia toast. Everything was delicious but the best part was the fresh, lightly toasted cheese & herb focaccia bread. Cheese-infused carb? Yes, please. Nice poach on the egg, too. There is a clear sense that someone put love and attention into preparing this breakfast for me which I appreciated.
As a word of caution, they accept CASH ONLY so remember to bring some otherwise you'll have to walk past the actual abandoned buildings to the nearest ATM.

Caught in the act!
