Australian-style breakfasts invade New York, Brooklyn
Australian-style breakfasts have become increasingly popular in New York City, especially in neighborhoods like Greenpoint and Williamsburg, thanks to the proliferation of Australian-style cafes.
Cafes like Two Hands, Ruby’s, Flinder’s Lane, Banter and Five Leaves feature sumptuous yet healthy breakfasts including organic porridge with raw honey and grass-fed cream, free-range poached eggs with local bacon and roasted broccoli, and many varieties of avocado toast. They serve breakfast all day long, according to The New York Times.
This is not a coincidence, the Times says – in 2005, the U.S. signed a trade agreement that included a flexible new work visa specifically for Australians. Several thousand Australians, most of them young adults, have been coming here every year since.
