The People's Beach at Jacob Riis Park

"Peck’s does beautiful things with breakfast sandwiches. They’ve got your classic bacon or sausage, egg, and cheese, but there’s also one with cream cheese, one with house-smoked pastrami, and our personal favorite, The Golden One: fried eggs, cheddar, green chiles, and a latke, all on a Portuguese bun. There’s nowhere to sit inside the Myrtle Avenue coffee shop, but there’s a heated backyard if the weather’s nice, or you can take your sandwich to go—we’ve eaten them in bed, in a moving car, and they’ve even held up all the way to Jacob Riis Beach, an hour away. Peck’s also makes lunch sandwiches, if you’re egg-averse, and they have another location nearby called Peckish. It doesn’t have prepared food, but it does have pastries, and tables for getting a little work done while drinking a cappuccino. " - Willa Moore
