#20 The Perfect Breakfast Place

Today started out with a hangover... for Matt.

So after we rolled out of bed in the late AM, Matt and I decided to go for Sunday breakfast with Bennett at The Gathering Place in downtown Northville. It's a tiny little restaurant in a house that makes the most delicious potato hash and Georgia maple pecan waffles. The three of us sat at the table, drinking coffee and reading the Sunday paper while the sunlight dripped in through the window panes.

Matt has been there before, but this was my first experience with this place. And it was pure bliss. The clinking of glasses, the sunlight warm on my hands as I flipped through the paper. Sitting at the corner table with the paper tablecloth, each in our own worlds in our own section of the paper. Reading the headliners between mouthfuls of maple syrup heaven. Our waiter was a friend of ours, so he often filled our mugs and took a seat with us while we reminisced over the events of the previous night and the source of the headaches. A perfect morning.

Honorable mention:
  • Lazy Sundays fulls of TV marathons and mugs of teas

  1. Can we go here when I come to visit? Sounds like the kind of place I'll love :)
