Sometimes I hate having to make decisions. Take for example, trying to decide what I wanted at Perly’s for brunch. On first glance, I was thinking I wanted the Benny Goodman, which consists of smoked salmon, two poached eggs and hollandaise on potato latkes. With further consideration, I was eyeing the french toast.

Once I landed on savory, I moved on to insisting that we started with a brunch appetizer. I’ve had the pierogies there before — and I’m Polish — so I was ready to eat them again. But then I wanted to try something new, so we decided to get the Schlubby fries, which consists of fries, Russian dressing, pastrami, cheese and peppers.
