Of the charitable breakfast program, Executive Vice President Patrick Smalley says, "Our hearts and minds are with all of those in Haiti along with their families and friends here in Nassau County. The Garden City Hotel joins with the Red Cross to offer our guests something as simple as having a breakfast meeting as a way to support relief efforts." "Even in the darkest hours, Long Islanders always rise to the occasion," says Frank Cassano, chief executive officer of the American Red Cross in Nassau County. "We are extremely grateful to the Garden City Hotel for its generosity as we work to provide not only for the immediate needs of the Haitian people, but the long-term recovery effort as well." "This initiative will go a long way towards providing relief to the people of Haiti, and I thank The Garden City Hotel for their generosity," says Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano. "I invite everyone to come out to The Garden City Hotel during the month of February. Not only will you enjoy a great breakfast, but you will be helping those who are suffering in the aftermath of this tragedy." Award-winning Chef Steven De Bruyn, inspired by one his pastry chefs, Haitian-born Lucie Lemy and her mother's recipe, adds a special comfort dish to the menu. With respect to a Haitian tradition is Labouyi Bannann, an energizing porridge-like drink made of pureed plantains, vanilla beans, sugar and evaporated milk. Also on De Bruyn's popular breakfast menu, designed to power every breakfast meeting, are eggs of all styles including a side of NY sirloin steak or poached with smoked salmon, fresh dill bearnaise and asparagus. Always available are Chef's freshly-squeezed juice-of-the-day, seasonal fruit plates with fresh berries and a poppy-yogurt dressing, homemade granola and sugar-free preserves. The Garden City Hotel
