"Breakfast at Tiffany's" (1961) is one of the great classics of film history with the actress Audrey Hepburn - but you couldn't really have breakfast in the fine jewelry store on Fifth Avenue in New York.But the store has put the film title into action: In the "Blue Box Cafe" on the fourth floor of the shop, visitors can have breakfast with a view of Central Park. With 29 dollars (approximately 23 euros) the meal consisting of coffee or tea, croissant, fruit and waffles, for example, is not exactly cheap - but compared to the jewelry around it an absolute bargain.
