(The pictures that follow are mostly by Phil as the roll I used this day was lost until last night, it's being developed.)

After all the walking the previous day we had to stock up on a hearty breakfast. Phil found out about Tom's Restaurant in Brooklyn. There is another Tom's Restaurant on Broadway, which is a classical hotspot of the city. It's where Susanne Vega's tophit song "Tom's Diner" is based on.
We opted for Tom's place in Brooklyn and it's everything you can expect from an American Diner with a twist... we had a little old woman greeting us at the entrance and plastic flowers invaded the whole place with nick-nacks and kitsch decoration. I absolutely loved it and felt at home within seconds. This place has been open since 1936!
We were lucky to not find a line, apparently on weekends it can go around the block. The atmosphere was very friendly and the food was deliciously fattening and naughty.

| It was free to get into the MoMa that day, so we joined the line. |

| We were always being watched in the subway. |

NY subway is pretty efficient. Except when you're about to catch a plane.
This day ended with a rather disappointing pizza slice. |
