Manhattan is packed with fantastic places to eat at all hours of the day, but when it comes to breakfast and the most important meal of the day, there are some spots that shouldn’t be missed.
Whether you prefer traditional bagels and lox with house-roasted coffee on the go or a civilized and leisurely conventional Japanese breakfast, the city that never sleeps has a restaurant for you. I collected my favorite spots for 10 years when I lived in New York City. Sunday brunch is legend in NYC and a great way to get together with friends and family. From authentic Jewish delis and cozy Ukrainian coffee shops to contemporary corner cafés and chef-inspired five-star eateries, here are some of Manhattan’s top spots for a healthy, hearty, and happy breakfast.
