The
booths in The Good Egg are lacquered hard wood without cushions or covers. The tabletops are Formica edged with brushed
metal. Plastic salt and pepper shakers
flank a bowl of creamers and a small, rectangular plastic container with
disheveled white, yellow, pink and blue packets of sweeteners sits on every
table. The walls are dotted with
watercolor seascapes featuring lighthouses or ships under sail. Three friends occupy a booth near the
back. They consider their menus as their
fresh coffee cools in large ceramic mugs.
