Thanks to Connecticut-born Craig Carlson, expats, Americans abroad, and anyone needing a little dose of the English language and Americana can make a bee-line for this real American-style diner. Here, the pancakes are thick and coated with butter and maple syrup, the eggs are scrambled, fried, sunny side up, over easy, and on and on and served with bread that you toast at table-side toasters, the french toast is...well, not French, but certainly delicious. Missing New York? Breakfast in America even has bagels, served the right way–slathered in Philadelphia cream cheese. The burgers and sandwiches taste right off the grill and come with fries (freedom, french, call them whatever you want). Aside from the obvious draw of the food, Breakfast in America is filled with English-speakers–American, British, Australian, and even Parisians looking to get their fill of big, hearty portions from across the pond. The restaurant has a warm, communal feel, and for those seriously nostalgic for their home country, this is a heartwarming dining experience.
