Steve Cohn’s cheesecake breakfast still a big hit with Brooklyn politicians
It was a who’s who of the Brooklyn political scene with all of the biggest names showing up, except Mayor de Blasio, as roughly 300 local politicians, from both parties, judges and lawyers packed into Junior’s Restaurant for Steve Cohn’s annual Cheesecake Breakfast on Friday morning.
There are no speeches at the event, just pancakes, eggs, french toast, bacon and cheesecake. Lots of cheesecake.
“We’ve been having this event every year for over 20 and maybe 25 years,” said Steve Cohn. “It started as a networking breakfast, no speeches. The only decisions that need to be made is how you like your eggs. It’s an opportunity for elected officials for all parties to come and meet and greet.”
