"Runners have been carbo-loading since the first Olympic games in Ancient Greece (probably). You can do your part to follow this important tradition by heading to Breads Bakery at Lincoln Center on 63rd Street on the West Side - less than a block from the Sheep Meadow area. At Breads, you can get your breakfast sandwich to go (along with an iced coffee and a really good piece of chocolate babka). Also - there are a bunch of tables here in the event you decide to hang out for a while." - hannah albertine
