Brookline Lunch
I take breakfast very seriously. Grease, eggs, bacon, cheeses of all varieties, etc are all necessary for me to feel satisfied when sitting down to a bite in the morning. Occasionally one of your friends will suggest that due to his/her diet, vegetarianism, cholesterol, religion, what have you, they need something a bit less grease-choked but still filling. That, dear readers, is where the Brookline Lunch in Central Square comes in. An unassuming storefront opens up to a rather charming interior, all old benches and exposed brick. One look at the menu alone does not show the difference between here and the other greasebomb-laden spots around the corner, as it's all your excellent delicious standard breakfast fare, but once that plate arrives at your table you see: giant portions with homefries on the side but alongside a pile of hot-off-the-grill veggies like mushrooms and tomatoes that all tastes wonderful. Also, the prices are incredibly low. I've never spent more then fifteen dollars for two people, including tip. It's a cute place, family run, and as you can see by the picture, these are people who are proud of their work. It's ten steps from the Redline, so is well worth the stroll.
