If you're actually thinking about doing the Essex Museum, then you must get breakfast at Red's Sandwich Shop. (15 Central St, just off the Essex St walking mall and less than a block from the museum.) The best breakfast... Yumm... But it might be difficult to park and get enough seats for a crew, since it is a little diner. Generally there will be a dozen people waiting for a seat. A party of 4 would have a 10-20 minute wait.

There is a Brother's Deli right next to the parking garage, which is about 2 blocks from the museum. 283 Derby St., just before Pickering Wharf. It's a little odd when you first go in, because it's a steam-table buffet kind of place. You grab a tray and stand in line, when it's your turn you give your order and move down the line until it's done... But the breakfast is cooked to order, and those guys make one hell of a breakfast. And Brother's has plenty of seating.

Either place is very highly recommended for breakfast.

If you stay in Danvers near the Inn, there is a Brother's Deli in Danvers, too, at 31 Maple Street.
