Avant Radio Festival

Before

0.3 mi · 6 min walk - Paulus Hook - Exchange Place

A small breakfast place on Morris Street doing eggs, sandwiches and espresso, open from half past six on a weekday. It writes its name in lower case and keeps the menu to what it can do well before lunch. There is a second sam a.m. in Bergen-Lafayette that has closed, so this Paulus Hook address is the one that trades.

After

short ride recommended · 6 min - Tribeca - Hudson Square

A bar in a federal-era house at 326 Spring Street that has been serving since 1817, which puts it among the oldest continuously licensed bars in the city. The neon sign reads EAR because painting out part of the B on the old BAR sign avoided a Landmarks review. It does handmade burgers, and live music fills the place three nights a week.
