Outdoor Dining
Breadbox Cafe
The Breadbox Café (47-11 11th St.) bagels are baked on site; the dough made
from scratch by chefs every morning. They cook with real eggs, grind their own meat,
source ingredients from specialty purveyors and always favor natural, sustainable,
organic, and local produce of the highest quality. Come hang out with the morning
paper and a cappuccino; meet your friends and their families for brunch to share
plates and stories; or join Breadbox and other neighbors for delicious dinners.
