Summary

A straphanger makes a bold claim: the ham and cheese croissant beats the iconic bacon egg and cheese as New York's best breakfast value. His reasoning? Price. Bacon egg and cheese runs seven bucks minimum, while his croissant of choice costs just $4.49. He's committed to the bit, eating them a few times a week and even bringing his second croissant of the day onto the train to share with Kareem. The debate hinges on pure economics, though there's some confusion about whether it's just ham and cheese or includes egg too. Either way, this rider's ready to die on the croissant hill.
