It's sad when independent shops close and leave, but not when they move next door and become something more.
Such is the case with the old
Drip, now the new
Toast on 7th Street. Snuggled into a third the space of Drip, Toast has actually expanded its menu by two thirds -- you can get breakfast, lunch, baked goods and espresso.

The expanded menu includes a NYC Egg Sandwich, with choice of egg, bread, meat, cheese and veggies for $8.50. Under Toast of the Week is the Rolls Royce, among others: it transforms mere beans to royalty - baked beans, egg, and bacon on brioche. We were tempted, but, we like to keep things simple here at Chow Bella; the over-easy egg on brioche was just the ticket.
