From the March issue: 5:45 a.m.  I set the alarm for 6, but I wake up naturally right before it goes off. I don’t eat breakfast most days, just coffee, but when I have breakfast meetings out, I order a feta, tomato and spinach omelet. I love those Greek omelets. If I get to choose the place, I pick Café Centro, which is in my office building at 200 Park Avenue. For people coming in from Connecticut or Westchester, it’s also close to Grand Central. Mornings are also for papers; online news just doesn’t do it. I like the feel of the newspaper, turning the paper and picking up little tidbits. I read the New York Times and the Daily News at home, and the Journal and Post later in the office. I like the Post for gossip. [more]
