Dear Philadelphia, but more specifically the residents and working folk of the Gayborood,

You know we love you, right? And, like your mother before us, we try our hardest to help you have a perfect day by giving you good food to energize, satisfy, and motivate you to get you through your busy day. You know we have gelato for dessert (no matter what time of day dessert is called for). You know we have panini, tramezzini, and salads for lunch. And you even know we have bagels, toast, yogurt, and oatmeal for breakfast. But we here at Capogiro 13th street want to make your most important meal of the day--your first meal--just that much more special. So guess what we've done for you? We've brought you breakfast bagel sandwiches!

We take out freshly deliveried H&H bagels that you've loved so much, and we put hard-boiled eggs, swiss cheese, and turkey (or bacon) on them! Of course, if you're vegetarian, like me, you can get this to-die-for breakfast treat with only the egg and cheese. And don't worry, we've got ketchup and hot sauce to help you season your bagel to perfection.

You already get your morning coffee here, why not get some breakfast too?

Morning warriors.

Through the history of mankind, cultures across the globe have held their warrior class in high esteem. The knights of the Middle Ages are legendary in both their deeds and valors. Vikings warriors traversed inhospitable seas, battling wily kraken and vicious Gaul alike. The Japanese samurai were brilliant tacticians and swordsmen who adhered to a strict code of honor.

Following in the footsteps of their forbearers, we find Capogiro's own morning warrior class here on Walnut Street in West Philadelphia: Miles and Ezra, our own stalwart soldiers.



Between crafting the finest espresso drinks in the neighborhood, slicing (and to a lesser extent, dicing) scrumptious H&H bagels with a quickness, scooping piccolos with unmatched scoop accuracy, and cheerfully greeting our regulars with a smile and slightly uncomfortable wink, one would be hard-pressed to cite a historically more valiant pair of troopers. While you'd think that their exploits in the cafe would leave them too spent to do anything with their free time, they are both know to be powerful spellcasters who moonlight as creators of hot new television pilots (check CBS for the this fall's Meow Town- "Where one paw can make all the difference".) Miles is also in training at the Dry-Erase Marker Academy, and his early works have been hailed as "the Rembrandts of the flying ghosts punching angry horses genre".

As a retired general of the morning warrior class, I salute these two as worthy inheritors of the pride-inspiring Capogiro standard. May she ever fly high, whipping all of West Philadelphia to a gelato-consuming frenzy!
