While eating a fat breakfast burrito and e-mailing SOS messages to the world in hopes that someone would save us from the zombies, we realized that The B Line, with its tasteful décor, delicious food and free wireless Internet access, is the perfect place to lay low for a while and wait for the streets to clear. Plus, the bar seating by the window looking out onto Fourth Avenue provides a rare vantage from which to spot zombies, gutter punks or super-hot ladies--whatever you're into.
