I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised by the mornings at the Parting Glass this weekend.
The AM bartender was rediculously accommodating and we spent a few great pre-race hours there every day we were up. Perhaps the best Bloody Mary's on the planet. The NYRA broadcast front and center on all the TV's, it was cool, quiet and comfortable. Even had scratches printed out for the patrons as soon as they were out.
Only breakfast item they have is Irish Breakfast, no substitutions. Lunch food avail as well. Irish Breakfast, Black Coffee, Shrimp Bloody Mary's. Repeat...
Sperry's was pretty good opening night. Was hot in back dining room, but public handicapping star power made up for it.
