a side note about Breakfast

I just want to say that have nothing against breakfast-, really & truly, and, as you have read, I do on occasion eat it- but I happen to love a nice "Brunch" although usually, brunch is at nicer places and I have tried many. I have my favorites for brunch as well. On Long Island, the Garden City Hotel has a lovely one- lobster, shrimp, sushi and all the breakfast, lunch and dinner items you want

The two best brunches I have ever eaten- IN MY ENTIRE life, bar none, are: The Delano in South Beach & The Peninsula Hotel in Chicago.

Both of these places are spectacular- The Peninsula happens to be one of my most favorite hotels in the United States- just breathtaking in every way- from the huge cream colored marble lobby with enormously high ceilings, the magnificent rooms,- everything- but the brunch is just beyond words- room after room of every single delicious, beautiful food item you can thing of- and a room with just chocolates & desserts! The Delano also, is so beautiful, with the surroundings of Miami, palm trees- beyond compare with mounds of caviar, platters of incredible sushi, and also 100's of food items that are just a foodies dream .
