While we're at it, let's cross-reference some relevant threads:
I'm with Calcifer on Norma's: Very popular, but I've never been and find it hard to believe that it could possibly be worth both (1) the hassle of getting a seat and (2) the price. But I've never met anyone who ate there and regretted it.
I'm not a huge Sarabeth's fan for much the same reasons. I think it's overpriced and not worth the wait, but some people love it. I'll take the Metro Diner at 100th and Broadway (which has great value pre-brunch breakfast specials) over Sarabeth's any day.
In general you won't be called "honey" in too many Manhattan breakfast joints. In most places you'll be waited on either by immigrant men who work their tails off but don't know much English and don't take much time for courtesy, or by aspiring actors who speak beautiful English and will give you a dashing smile, but who are too formal to dispense terms of endearment.
You may need to go to the outer boroughs to find waitresses who still call the clientele "honey."
