On a recent trip to — of all places — the Newark Airport, I was reminded of one of my long-time obsessions: Cereality. Located at a handful of places throughout the country, the shop has every type of cereal and topping you could ever want to eat together (Pop Rocks and M&Ms on granola, woo hoo!).
Anyway, I’ve been hoping for years that one will pop up in NYC. It hasn’t.
BUT, my friend Stefanie (who knows about my Cereality lovin’) informed me that sandwich/salad shop Lenny’s recently opened cereal bars at a few of its locations! (9th Street and Sixth Ave., 212-353-0300; 74th Street and Columbus Ave., 212-580-8300). And it plans to expand soon.
Now, Lenny’s doesn’t have as creative toppings as Cereality, or as many cereal choices, but I’ll let them off the hook because they’re newbies to the breakfast food market.
