The Old Broadway Bar and Grill

http://www.theoldbroadway.com/diner.php

This morning, I started off the day with Eggs Benedict at The Old Broadway Diner.

The Old Broadway is probibly the nicest diner I've eaten at in Fargo. There's a certain "hipness" that comes from it. It's like a Fargo gal gussied herself up and brushed her teeth for a night on the town...but you know, deep down, even though she MAY be heading out for a night of culture and fine dining, she's just going to go back home to her trailer and heat up a tv dinner when it's all done.

There's a fabulous mural on the wall, they play nothing but jazz, the decore is impecable.

It feels so fucking fake. Like it's trying SO hard to be hip that it's kinda scary.

The food wasn't bad. Decent holindase sauce, The english muffin was a little tough, but I'll just let that slide. Coffee was decent, and they had real cream...which was a nice touch. But I couldn't help but feel like it was just TRYING far to hard to be cool. Like it was forcing "HEY...we're HIP, ya know daddio! Like...COOOLSVILLE man."

Definatly worth a stop, still not sure if I like it yet or not.
