Start your walking tour of Slavic Village at the
Red Chimney Restaurant, home of the $2.25 breakfast. The restaurant, on the corner of E 65th Street and Fleet Avenue, is the hub of the neighborhood. On any given day, you'll find the parish priest or the councilman or the local bartender, all discussing the events of the day.
In addition to the breakfast special, which includes eggs, potatoes, bacon or sausage, and toast, the Red Chimney serves up a huge menu of traditional and Polish favorites. Particularly good are the biscuits and sausage gravy and the Weiner schnitzel.
Make sure to pick up a free copy of the
Neighborhood News, the local newspaper, while you're there to learn more about what's happening in the area.
