I am starting a new feature today, one in which I ask people I admire to answer 5 questions in relation to breakfast.

Erin's food sketches

1. What is your favorite thing to make for breakfast?
When it's just me and my husband: eggs, lightly scrambled with scallions, sesame oil, soy sauce and sliced grape tomatoes, and a slice of shoku pan (Japanese milk bread) toast.
When friends are over: a breakfast tart with gruyere and vegetables, a big salad to share, berries.
2. What is your favorite thing to order when you go out to breakfast?
Anything involving eggs and the color green (kale, spinach, avocado, pesto, mesclun, etc). Also, I can't say no to a crispy hash brown.
3. Do you have a favorite local spot?
City Bakery, for iced coffee and whole wheat croissants. Paris Baguette in Koreatown, for a tray of choose-your-own Asian pastries. Tarallucci e Vino, for the best muffins. And Le Pain Quotidien near Union Square, because there's never a wait, the people who work there are nice, and you can enjoy breakfast and read the paper without feeling rushed, or guilty for bringing a baby stroller.
4. What is your favorite morning ritual?
On the weekdays, once my six-month old is changed, fed, dressed and playing, I fix something simple for myself like a bowl of oatmeal or fruit, and will have a quiet moment to enjoy my cup of coffee before the busyness of the day takes over. Once a week, Miles and I will spend the morning at Union Square Greenmarket, and I'll treat myself to a coffee and pastry on the way there.
On
the weekends, I look forward to Sunday mornings out with my husband and
Miles. We head out early and get to a breakfast spot right when it
opens, before the late brunch crowd slowly trickles in. Weekend mornings
before 10 o'clock is my favorite time in Manhattan -- the streets are so quiet and empty, and the city feels still.
5. coffee or tea?
Coffee. Iced. Even in the winter.

This is a cool new feature!
Lovely new feature! It's gonna be helpful in the future when I go out for breakfast and choose something other than a croissant and some hot chocolate. ^.^
Look forward to the next ones!
Great idea! Although I think it's going to give me a lot of food envy that I'm not going to be able to do anything about...! Unless you follow Stefanie's advice, haha!
