Vote for Avon's Top Spot for Breakfast

Where do you like to start the day?

There's nothing like a good breakfast. Whether it's a simple bowl of oatmeal or a stack of fluffy pancakes with bacon, breakfast can set the tone for the rest of the day. Some people like to grab breakfast on the go. Others like the idea of a more leisurely breakfast where others do the cooking and pour the coffee. Over the past few days, we've gathered nominations for Avon's favorite breakfast spot. The nominees are Panera Bread, Perkins, Subway and IHoP. When judging, we'll consider votes in the poll, comments, and reviews in each restaurant's Patch Places page. Check the PDF attached here for complete rules. We'll select a winner after 5 p.m. on Friday and announce it in a story on Saturday.
