Eggs on a Roll
November 28, 2007 – 8:42 amFor over a year now, the Papaya Dog at the corner of 14th and 1st has been trying to drive some morning business into its shop with a breakfast deal: 2 eggs on a roll for 99 cents (personally, I prefer the $3.23 deal at David’s Bagel, which includes juice and coffee). They put the banner up early in the morning, and it’s down by lunchtime every day.
Within the last month, Salt and Pepper, just two doors up 1st Avenue, has started their own breakfast offering. And they’re using a strangely familiar banner to promote it.

I mean, there are only a few ways to advertise 2 eggs on a roll for 99 cents.

Benjamin Kabak: True. “Two eggs on a roll” and “2 eggs on a roll.” So there you have it.

Salt and Pepper used to be a Baskin Robbins when I was younger. sigh.

A roll with two eggs on it? I would go with that one. It’s just awkward enough to attract attention.

Does Papaya Dog serve them on a hotdog roll?

Eggs. Two of them. And a roll.
All yours for the low price of 99 cents!
(I guess that gets a little wordy, hmmm….)

Who says NYC is expensive? It IS possible to live there on the cheap… and die from e-coli.

I’m sure if you want to add a breakfast meat it skyrockets to $4.99.
