Mornings here usually start with coffee and the New York Times in front of the library fireplace. Breakfasts are served in the sunny dining room and feature fresh baked cakes and muffins, special quiches or pancakes, fresh fruit, coffee or tea. We know our city well and love to share ideas on how to make your visit enjoyable.
