Bloomberg, Obama chat over breakfast in NYC

Review: Dixie Belles Cafe

The Hound is always on the lookout for a good breakfast spot, especially this time of year when I focus on holiday shopping and often get up at the crack of 10 to hunt for bargains. I need a hearty breakfast just to walk from the Houndmobile to the mall.

Recently I discovered Dixie Belles Caf�, which is not a Mexican restaurant named Iguana’s. It almost was. For the longest time there was a sign out front announcing the coming of the lizardian restaurant, but it never happened. I was told by a manager at Dixie Belles that one of the people involved in developing Iguana’s died, prompting the surviving partners to rethink the restaurant. They decided to focus on breakfast and lunch to fill the void that was left when the nearby Nellie Belle’s closed following an electrical fire a couple of years ago. The owner of that popular breakfast spot took the fire as a sign that 25 years in the business was enough and decided it was time to retire. Read more
