Breakfast Around the World: French
Unlike the savory and often much filling lunch and dinner meals, French breakfasts are light. The traditional breakfast are often bread, the typical are the French baguette or croissant with jam and/or butter, and coffee. Kids usually get hot chocolate and tea is served in French cafes, but mainly for visitors of France.

Maman, google translates the word into english as "mom". I am at MAMANNYC, a small French cafe in Soho, NY. I was greeted with an array of French pastries, a few quiches and a couple of croque sandwiches (ham, egg or vegetable with cheese). I eventually discovered a back room (actually 2 rooms) filled with wooden tables, hanging plants , bulb lights and old antique chairs - a French rustic feel. The adjacent room, I later discovered opens to a patio and their "restaurant" and vintage shop called Marche.
I ordered a Quiche Lorraine and a "Signature Black" tea. The quiche was a pretty good size with an inner and soft egg consistency. It is layered with a thin sheet of ham and crust at the bottom. The tea, supposedly had a touch of sweetness and after linger taste, but not really. But I would go back to have a second try because of the ambiance.
