In an area that’s not exactly overflowing with breakfast options, 5 Spot is reliable, landing somewhere between a comfortable neighborhood joint and slightly dated hotel restaurant. The Statue of Liberty replica, giant swordfish hanging from the ceiling, and a big TV above the bar looping a crackling fireplace is a little kitschy, but it all works. And there’s enough good energy here to keep you entertained while you wait for coffee. They serve breakfast all day, too, which comes in handy when you suddenly have a hankering for waffles at 3pm.
