NORMA'S

Norma’s, the casual breakfast and lunch spot at Le Parker Meridien hotel, is probably best known as the home of the $1,000 omelette (eggs, lobster, and approximately $995 worth of caviar).The menu is tricked out with cutesy marketing names (“Rabbit Food,” “Breakfast—if you party like a rock star”), but the dishes—pancakes larded with blueberries and clotted cream; a rustic eggs Benedict with artichoke and porcini-truffle sauce—are like diner food for, well, rock stars.
