Loews Regency is on Park Avenue and 61st Street. It's near what we like to refer to as 'Wall Street North' (a.k.a. where banks like JPMorgan and UBS are located along with a number of hedge funds and private equity shops)
When you walk in, the dining room is to your left.
The lobby and restaurant were both redone in its recent remodeling.
Immediately you'll notice the new super stacked bar. Before, there was a lounge area.
They still have complimentary newspapers — Financial Times, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today. The Bloomberg Terminal and the TV screens playing financial TV are no longer there.
First things first, you'll need a bottomless cup of coffee. It's $7.50.
The menu is pretty standard — eggs, bacon, pastries, fruit, juice. It's expensive, though. You can get yogurt for $18.
Around 7:45 - 8:00 a.m. everyone starts showing up. We mean everyone because it seems they all know each other and just got back from the same Soul Cycle class (their words, not ours).
We both ordered the 3 egg omelet. It comes with salad and potatoes. It costs a cool $25!
You have to have a little toast on the side, obviously. Yes, that's $6 for two pieces of bread. Amazing.
Who doesn't like a baby bottle of hot sauce... no seriously. Who?
We also stopped by the bathroom. It's nice, too.
Here's what the Loews Regency power breakfast looked like before the redesign...
