At this eclectic throwback cafe, which occupyies a ground-floor space in the M.H. Renken Dairy building, the color of this fabled scramble ($8.25) comes from spinach and pesto. Green eggs and — hidden, atop the challah — ham.

They've been hiding in plain sight.
The company name was at just the right height for passers-by — but not on foot.
This was a longtime home of the Rockwood and Co. chocolate factory, which shuttered in 1950, then a production center for Tootsie Rolls, till that operation shut down in 1967. After several decades of dormancy, the building was converted to residential units and branded The Chocolate Factory; in August 2009, a boutique supermarket called Fresh Fanatic opened on the ground floor.
