Looking for breakfast reco’s for Boylston St/Newbury, but on a Monday

The signs on the doors of the IHOP at 1850 Soldiers Field Road today blamed electrical problems for closing the 24-hour restaurant, leaving the South Street Diner on Kneeland Street Boston's only sit-down restaurant open 24 hours a day seven days a week. Mid-afternoon, a utility crew worked on the Birmingham Parkway side of the IHOP.

Boston Restaurant Talk reports the impending opening of Milkweed, a cafe on Tremont Street at Burney Street, and that one of its menu items might be pancakes made with Lucky Charms.

The branding work that went into the cafe.

WBUR reports: "Boston area's first oatmeal shop wants to challenge perceptions of porridge." In Davis Square, of course.

Wait, what's that, Brooklyn? You have an avocado restaurant? Oh, gawd, Somerville, you're back up.

A California restaurant chain called the Broken Yolk Cafe is suing Robert's Broken Yolk of Malden in an attempt to make it change its name - and to pay for the "irreparable injury" the chain's reputation has suffered from the alleged name poaching. Read more.

Centre Street near the Roche Center gets all the attention as a restaurant row, but the past couple of years have seen the rise of an interesting cluster of take-out restaurants along Washington Street between Grove and Birchwood streets.

It's very difficult to find a place to eat then. Thank goodness for the Westbury in West Roxbury (at 6 a.m., somebody was just lifting the security grate at the Robinwood in JP),

As for why I was driving around the City that Always Sleeps at that ungodly hour, well, had to get the kidlet to school for a field trip. A field trip to Williamstown.

OK, so we're not so tough: This morning, I drove the kidlet and the kid from next door to school, to minimize their risk of cracking heads on slippery sidewalks. Since I had to scrape off the car (again!), I didn't have time to make myself coffee (you know, one of the four essential food groups), so rather than having breakfast at home, I stopped at the newly opened Sugar Baking Co. in Roslindale Square (Washington Street, across from the Dunkin' Donuts).
