LEAD OF THE STACK
For the morning sweet toothed-diner, the Hotel Murano serves an amazing gourmet gingerbread French toast. Six gooey cinnamon and ginger swirled slices arrive on a long plate topped with crème fraiche and powdered sugar. They're so soft you could sleep on them. Whipped butter and maple syrup standby if needed - although they are not necessary. It rings in at $11.
