I asked to see a menu. Instead, I wandered around the home-goods floor, just as Krakoff intended, gazing at artfully arranged crystal decanters and candlesticks. In another scene in the movie, Hepburn brings her love interest—a writer, similarly striving, played by George Peppard—to Tiffany, during business hours. He wants to buy her something; she acquiesces, but only if it costs less than ten dollars, she insists. A bunch of plastic bananas taunted me from the saddle bag of a turquoise bike.
A faux tomato sat beside a sterling-silver plate etched with the image of a sandwich. But don't expect to waltz right in. So to claim your spot in the cafe, which seats 40 people, you may need to line up as early as 5 a.
Early risers who wait in line are given a time to return later in the day. Then it's your choice of avocado toast, a buttermilk waffle, truffle eggs or smoked salmon and a bagel. Like this story? Even Martha Stewart would agree. A Four-Story Treasure Trove. Calms me down right away. The quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there.

I'm sure other dishes were probably better. If ever given the chance to go back, I'm going to try the bagel castle. Both Sarah and I decided not to get any dessert. The noise level was decent — we were probably the loudest ones there.
The dishes were spaced out fine, and the hosts did not try to rush us as we talked. In the beginning, things appeared to be a bit slow, but that was only because they had just opened up. If anything, my coffee cup was never empty.
Overall, the experience inside was quite nice, even if my waffle was not. I took my waffle home and, of course, the to-go bag was on theme. Though, I admit I did think that was a sticky note in the middle of the bag and promptly tried to tear it off before I realized it was not. It would depend on the day, her mood.
Fred in the books — or Paul in the movie — would do all he could to book her the reservation, but there's no telling she would show up. It would be too much of a reality, a dream she's not ready to fulfill. Maybe in the movie she was less of an indecisive person, but in the book she was just a young girl trying to find herself. The book began when she was only 19 and followed her through her early 20s. She was somewhat of a high-end call girl , in contrast to the socialite figure Hepburn turned her into.
Most importantly, she went to Tiffany, not necessarily because she loved the jewelry or the diamonds or the silver, but because there was something about it which settled the angst inside of her; the anxiety of life. But I know what it's like In the book, Golightly said going to Tiffany always gave her peace, especially on the days when thinking of the future gave her anxiety.
For her, jumping in a taxi and going to Tiffany was one way to settle her nerves. Sarah and I got off on the second floor and walked over to Audrey Hepburn's photo. The photo meant so much to me growing up. I found myself walking around, window shopping, looking at the nice diamond rings on display. I thought, even if I had a ring from a Cracker Jack box as Holly and Paul did in the movie, I'm not sure I would ask them to engrave it. What's a telephone dialer anyway?
An old-school version of an iPhone pen? Maybe one day I'll be able to go back to Tiffany for breakfast and finally try that salmon bagel castle.
