Eggs in the City: Union City, NJ

In a land of tacos, burritos and chimichangas a basic American breakfast joint is a welcomed addition to the neighborhood. 

Situated in a cozy little nook-like setting on the corners of 46th St and Park Ave across from a laundromat sits Eggs in the City.  I had passed by EITC a couple dozen times until I started to finally understand what was there and what was being served.

So one day I stopped in and grabbed some eggs and toast and I was pleasantly surprised.  Everything was made fresh and was perfectly greasy, but most of all the prices were EXTREMELY REASONABLE (if you spend over 5-6 dollars you are getting a FEAST).

One Saturday morning, the Bagel Queen and I had enough bagels for a while and we decided to try EITC for a little more involved breakfast and we were not disappointed.  My girlfriend got the usual spinach and onions egg white omelet and that came with a nice side of toast and some pretty decent homefries.  Me, I ordered a taylor ham and cheese (no egg) which is a staple of my breakfast selections and I was not disappointed as it was served on a very fresh everything bagel and the serving of taylor ham was extremely generous which I am very picky about.  I am very bothered by some of these bagel places that charge you 5-6 bucks for a taylor ham and cheese sandwich and they give you 2 slices of taylor ham.  EITC serves up 5-6 slices and leaves you feeling extremely satisfied.

The prices are unbelievable! The taylor ham sandwich runs about $3.75 and the omelet I believe is about $5.50 max.

If you are ever in the Union City, Weehawken (where I live), Hoboken greater area you have to come by and try Eggs in the City...the staff is extremely nice, the food is excellent and the prices are great!
