Mmmmmm.... Blueberry. I love that place.
To steal the famous quote from Rudi... "I'm soooooooooo jealous".
(Their nonblueberry breakfasts, btw, are as good as if not better than their blueberry stuff. Its ALL good. Try the blueberry lemonade!)

Yes, indeed, a lovely dinner with LOTS of helpful hints & incredible information!! It was great getting together with a "known" FT'r as well as meeting a "new" one.
And again, my thanks to you for helping me celebrate my "AAchievement"

Now I can add Dhammer & Nanook to the expanding list of fascinating FT'ers I've had the pleasure of meeting in person.
It was a great breakfast all around, despite the fact that the coffee was a bit weak & they ran out of blueberry ice cream!

Thanks for posting the picture of our dinner.... obviously (since my eyes are closed) I was VERY tired from attaining my Million Miler status
Best wishes for all your future flights and do hope to meet you again when you're next in town.

And since my eyes aren't closed, I don't have to ask you to delete the post! Have a safe trip back to the East Coast (for the 3rd time in as many days).

Maybe you are just dreaming of where to go with all of those miles.

If you'd like this New Yorkers take on Cora's and Blueberry...
All on a zero to 10 scale....
Atmosphere
Cora's 2
Blueberry 3
Don't expect anything fancy.
Since I ate blueberry pancakes at both places (had to be fair in making a comparision); here are the differences:
Cora's - <7> old fashioned pancakes, big, and a nostalgic golden shade of yellow. Blueberries were slightly tart. Maybe they should taste then before putting them on. Sort of like being served yellow tomatoes instead of red ones.
Blueberry - <6> Paper thin pancakes with blueberries on top. These blueberries were a little sweeter than Cora's.
Now here's the funny part... I was reading LA Magazine on the trip out; and who did they recommend? Jinky's.
Cora's and Blueberry is certainly acceptable; but next time I'm Jinky's bound based on the above recommendation from a Flyertalker and LA Magazine.
Have to agree with Nanook, the company was much better than the food.
