Your friend is in town with her kids for the weekend. At the crack of dawn, they'll jump out of bed, engines blazing, while you know you'll be nursing a bad hangover. Alright, maybe you'll still be drunk. You want to send them to breakfast while you get a few more hours of sleep, but the place has to be open early, kid friendly, and not have a long wait for a table. Send them to Sarabeth's, Central Park South. The menu is plain enough to satisfy the pickiest tyro palate but interesting enough that the adults will enjoy the few bites they shovel into their maws between refereeing the tots. The buttery bran muffins with soaked raisins are especially dreamy. If your ass is still drunk by the time they finish breakfast, send them into Central Park to play so you can buy enough time to find your sunglasses and wait for the Advil to kick in, you terrible, terrible role model.
Sarabeth's Central Park South
Between 5th and 6th Ave.
