Breakfast & Dinner
Saturday morning, we set out in search of breakfast with our trusty Urban Spoon app. (Sidebar: how did we ever vacation without this thing? We've found such great places with it from Kohala to NYC and everywhere in between.) A place called Meli Cafe looked good, so we marched up the street. We're staying basically in Greektown--irony alert, that's the one cuisine we're not especially keen on--so our trip took us past about 9000 Greek places on a fairly deserted walk, until we came upon a sunny looking spot that seemed pretty full. Why? Because it's breakfast heaven, that's why. Meli has a juice menu that's separate from the breakfast menu and dishes built around stuff like cocoa crepes stuffed with Nutella or cocoa waffles covered with strawberries and bananas and specials built around guanciale (so, so good!). The plates are as big as your head and come with perfectly seasoned breakfast potatoes. The coffee is rich, dark, and endless....
