I am a fan of Mama Jo's! She is there bright and early with big smiles. I get to the area around 7:15 am and always wonder what to get for breakfast before I step foot into my office. Luckily for us, Mama Jo is already there! There are already customers waiting on line and it moves quickly.
My go-to breakfast is bacon and egg on a roll with a large cup of coffee. To my biggest surprise, the eggs were not overly cooked with the yolk was still oozing in the middle. The roll bread and other ingredients are super fresh. This is not a surprise since she always have a line of customers and there is a quick turnaround!
Mama Jo is very good at remembering her regulars and that adds a bit of a special touch to my mornings!
breakfast cart on northwest corner of park and 47th st. convenient here for all the corporate folks who work for JPM, banks x, y, z…etc etc (JPM occupies a bunch of buildings in this area and no, I don't work for JPM and they haven't paid me for this plug.). I've only eaten here two times, so I can't say that I'm a regular, but there's always a small line forming in the mornings. I've had a muffin here and a breakfast sandwich. both are good, but not mind blowing. prices are a little less than what you'd pay in a deli. they serve everything here including omelettes. omelettes from a cart? hell yeah. there are other breakfast carts in the vicinity, but there's a certain branding action working for this cart. and the fact is people come here to exchange pleasantries with Mama Jo. She knows her regulars. End of story.
Why go to Starbucks – when you can go to the cart. Mama Jo is a rock star, knows her regulars, and eagerly serves up a great hot or cold breakfast at a fair price.
I had a tasty BLT, and the egg and cheese sandwich was also great even though we asked to hold the cheese and got it anyway (oh well why be healthy when only in NYC for a few days)
She is conveniently located one block north of Grand Central.
