..you really want a big breakfast. This happens to me a lot. Not that I’m an alchy or anything.
Anyway, I’d only been to Galaxie Diner once before and that was years and years ago.
I remember liking it because it wasn’t Nellies. It was way back in those first year university days when all of my friends loved Nellies even though it was (and is) horrible.
So, more recently, when my friends said we should go to Galaxie, I happily obliged.
There was a line-up, as there always is on account of how horribly small it is inside. Thankfully, my friends got there earlier than me, so I didn’t have to wait. That’s a good thing because I hate waiting to get into restaurants.
I’m impatient and find it impractical and a massive waste of time to wait in lines for food, so I probably would have ditched my friends, walked across the street to Good Earth, and got on with my day. It worked out well for everyone this way. I didn’t have to wait in line and my friends got to enjoy my wonderful company.
Anyway, the food was good, though my eyes were bigger than my stomach (at least I was full enough to skip lunch, so I saved a pretty penny there).
I like that Galaxie serves milkshakes on account of my grotesque and unhealthy affinity for eating ice cream in the mornings. being served as a drinkable dairy beverage somehow makes it less disgusting than scarfing down a giant bowl of cookies and cream. It’s sort of like Yop. You know what, I actually think it might be healthier than Yop; I don’t want to know what sort of horrific chemicals are in that crap. That’s how I’m going to justify my unhealthy life choice.
In addition to my probably-healthier-than-Yop milkshake, I also ordered breakfast burritos. Yes, burritos, plural. I had two, ate them both, and almost immediately regretted my decision, as one does when they drink a chocolate milkshake, eat two breakfast burritos, hashbrowns, and toast.
Alas.
At least it was all good.
I recommend hitting up Galaxie.
At the same time, I advise you to avoid pulling a Katie and keeping your own gluttony in check.
Maybe if you order a milkshake only order one breakfast burrito.
Maybe don’t order a milkshake.
You can make up your own mind.
I can totally relate Katie. My preference for hangover food is usually something greasy and unhealthy. In that vein, McDonald’s sausage McMuffins or breakfast burritos. The one exception was New Year’s Day in NYC after closing down Tavern on the Green the night before. But that’s a really looooong story
