A Breakfast Sandwich-Only Shop, an Indian Chain from Texas, and More Coming Soon

Chelsea: King of hangover foods, the bacon, egg, and cheese is finally getting its own dedicated shop (just what New York always wanted) at 148 8th Avenue. BEC will offer traditional breakfast sandwiches along with options like the "spicy Spaniard" which has manchego and Serrano ham, and the "Greeky Roman," with lamb sausage and feta. Expect an opening sometime this spring, and be prepared to pay more than at your average bodega. [DNAinfo]
