NYC Limo and Breakfast suggestions

[wulicny]

We will be arriving by train early in the morning on the day of our QM2 cruise. I would like to arrange for a limo to pick us up at Madison Square Garden (Penn Station), take us somewhere for a good New York breakfast, then deliver us to the pier. I figure three or four hours of limo time will also get us a nice tour of the city before the pier.

Do you have any suggestions on reliable limo companies and good places for breakfast? Does the Carnegie Deli have a breakfast?

TIA,

Bill

Hi Bill,

I don't know any limo companies to recommend. If you don't find one, would you consider a car service?

Here are the numbers for a few of them:

AllState - 800-453-4099 hourly rate $30.

TelAviv - 800-222-9888

Carmel - 800-9-CARMEL $35 an hour.

Breakfast:

No, I believe that the Carnegie Deli does not service breakfast, however, The 2nd Ave Deli does, and so does Katz's Deli.

My other breakfast recommendations would be: Barney Greengrass - upper west side
Bubby's - Tribeca
Cupping Room Cafe - Soho

Jane,

Thanks for the great suggestions! Barney Greengrass sounds like an interesting one. [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

I didn't know there was a difference between limo services and car services. I figured we would need a limo just because we have five people, each with 10 nights' worth of luggage. I'm not sure a large car would be enough. We might even need a van. In any event, I have added your list of car services to my list of limo companies, and I will be researching them soon.

Thanks again,

Bill

Bill,

You're welcome.

BArney Greengrass has no ambience and serves traditional Jewish NY breakfast items like bagels and lox. The quality is excellent if you can stand the bustling crowd.

Bubby's is a place to be seen - you might run into DeNiro there. It's basically a diner - but with a cuter decor that is best for breakfast or lunch.

Barney Greengrass has better food, Bubby's has better 'tude. [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

We took this limo tour for a day in NY and LOOOOOOOVED it. The driver is the nicest guy. He told stories and the history of New York the whole time he drove us around (8 people). They will customize your tour for eating, whatever.
