Fire Island – Shelley Edition

“Some People Do Different Things”: Shelley and Friends Breakfast Adventures on Fire Island

Our opening quote comes courtesy of the metal band Punishment, via Fire Island co-host Tomas. Let me take a moment to give a shout-out to the site that Tomas runs, The Musician’s Lab.  Like music? Like podcasts? Then you should like The Musician’s Lab. Come on, do it. Like them.

Anyway, while the rest of the WBC was holding down the metaphorical breakfast fort in Westchester, I was doing a different thing, taking a much needed vacation on Fire Island. From the moment I stepped onto the ferry at Bay Shore, LI, I was instantly in vacation mode, and when I stepped off the ferry at the dock in Ocean Beach 20 minutes later, I was transported to a world of R&R. Now, maybe I’m a cynical New Yorker type of person, but the thing that struck me about Ocean Beach was how darn friendly everyone was. Locals offered help, they smiled and said hello. There are no cars on the island, which just makes everything blissfully quiet and easygoing. People ride bikes (with bells and baskets!) and pull little red wagons behind them. It was beautiful.

I could go on about my vacation, detailing how my sunscreen didn’t blend well and made me look like a goth kid, explaining in amazement how I didn’t crash my rented bike despite not having ridden a bike in upwards of 15 years (I guess you really don’t forget!), and how with my flashlight I accidentally became the nighttime sex on the beach patrol. But I know what you’re all here for, you want to hear about the breakfasts. Ok, I’ll get on with it.

I had breakfast at two establishments in Ocean Beach: Rachel’s Restaurant and The Landing. Read on for my reviews, as well as reviews from some very special guests!

 

If you can’t find these establishments, they’ve either closed down or you’re not where you think you are.(Map it)

The Bread Factory Cafe

05 Jun

Disappointment is an inevitable part of life. We are disappointed by lovers, disappointed by friends, or disappointed by our district’s representatives.
And sometimes we are disappointed by breakfast.
Which of these things disappointed the WBC this week? The reader who guesses correctly wins an awesome prize.*

*Note: There is no prize. Just the satisfaction of knowing you correctly guessed the answer to this beyond painfully obvious question.
