"The Blue Light Speak Cheesy is a beloved Greenpoint breakfast joint with a few counter seats in the window and a nice partially-enclosed outdoor seating area. On Wednesdays they make breakfast tacos, and they're some of our favorites in the city. Imagine a Taco Bell breakfast taco, but made entirely from high-quality ingredients. The double-decker exterior contains both a soft tortilla and a crunchy taco shell welded together with a layer of beans and cheese and filled with scrambled eggs and other delicious fillings." - neha talreja, kenny yang, carina finn koeppicus, willa moore, will hartman
"Instead of going the bar-and-dinner route, shake things up with a breakfast date at this morning pop-up in Greenpoint. From Wednesday to Sunday, they take over the kitchen at Getaway, a zero-proof cocktail bar. Their breakfast menu rotates daily, but our favorite is the breakfast tacos, made with handmade tortillas and a layer of cheesy refried beans in between. Check their website for the menu, and come as early as you can. They’re open until 1pm, but usually run out by noon." - bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, will hartman
"Introspection isn’t usually your thing, Aries, but you're in the mood to get it together this month. Now’s the time to set a new routine with a new regular spot. Make that spot The Blue Light Speak Cheesy, a breakfast speakeasy housed in Greenpoint’s zero-proof cocktail bar, Getaway. Their double-decker breakfast tacos feel truly different from other NYC tacos, both breakfast and otherwise, and we’re obsessed with their bagels and burritos too." - neha talreja
"If you’ve never experienced the delightful combination of coffee and carbonated beverages, try it at The Blue Light Speak Cheesy. Smooth, strong cold brew concentrate is cut with Fever Tree’s elderflower-infused tonic, then finished with a twist of lemon. It’s simple, it’s sophisticated, it’s refreshing AF when it’s hot out. It’s also the perfect option for those times when you want a fancy coffee drink that doesn’t rely on some kind of creamy liquid to make it sing." - carina finn koeppicus
"This Greenpoint brunch pop-up offers “double decker” breakfast tacos on Tuesdays between 9am-1pm at Getaway. And just in case you haven’t been to Taco Bell in a while, know that “double decker” just means you get a crunchy taco shell wrapped in a flour tortilla with some refried black beans in the middle to hold the two together. Blue Light serves a vegetarian take on this Taco Bell classic, involving scrambled eggs, avocado, soyrizo, and green salsa. And these creamy, crunchy breakfast tacos can also be made vegan upon request." - carina finn koeppicus
