Esquire just published a slideshow of "The 59 Best Breakfast Places in America" (brunch explicitly excluded), and the one at Kanella is among those singled out.
The Cypriot breakfast plate tastes heartier and more serious than its American counterpart: Sunny-side eggs fried in olive oil have a thick yolk and crunchy underlining, grilled halloumi and lounza (ham) are salty slabs, and the coffee is made Turkish-style by boiling finely powdered roasted beans (mixed with sugar) over a propane burner. Let the dregs settle.
Esquire calls their list both incomplete and unimpeachable, and we totally agree on both fronts.
