Best Breakfasts and Brunches, NY Style
New York is at its most iconic in the mornings- bagels, coffee, a copy of the NY Times read during morning commutes. Leisurely weekend brunches. Breakfast at Tiffany's. Coffee buzzes through the veins of this city, a street cart egg sandwich or bagel with shmear is the morning fuel for masses of people rushing to work, and Sunday brunch has basically been elevated into an art form. For a city that never sleeps,we take our morning gruel seriously. Here is an a.m. list to make those mornings run a little bit smoother, both classic spots and newcomers to the breakfast and brunch scene.
Ess-a-Bagel - Stuyvesant Town
359 1st Avenue, New York, NY, United States
Aleksandra Hogendorf's rating:xxxxx
In the constant wars and rankings of best NYC bagels, Ess-a-Bagel often finds itself at the top of the list, and with due reason. These hand-rolled rings of deliciousness are perfect. The small café on 1st Avenue and 21st street is nearly always busy and you can often expect a wait, but a bite into the crispy crus ... more
Russ & Daughters
179 East Houston Street, New York, NY
Aleksandra Hogendorf's rating:xxxxx
This family-owned Lower East Side establishment is a New York institution. A mecca of smoked fish and caviar, land of shmears and salads, this Old World boutique practically invented the NY icon of bagel and lox. An “appetizing store” opened in 1914 catering to Jewish immigrants in the LES, Russ & Daughters is a h ... more
Black Seed
170 Elizabeth St, New York, NY 10012, United States
Aleksandra Hogendorf's rating:xxxxx
A newcomer to the NYC bagel scene, this little Nolita bakery has garnered the attention of discerning bagel-hounds and foodies with their hand-rolled, wood fired gems. The real kicker- these are Montreal style bagels, or a hybrid version of them. The rivalry over bagels between these two cities is a long-standing ...more
Clinton Street Baking Co & Restaurant
2 Clinton St, New York, NY 10002
Aleksandra Hogendorf's rating:xxxxx
The lines might be long, the wait exasperating, but what’s all that for a bite of delicate and pillowy blueberry pancake perfection. Continuously voted the best in the city, these golden griddle cakes are light and fluffy, slightly sweet, crispy edged, and all sorts of wonderful- a luscious delight. The small rest ... more
Veselka Restaurant
144 2nd Avenue, New York, NY 10003
Aleksandra Hogendorf's rating:xxxxx
For a breakfast craving at any time of day, Veselka is the place to go. This 24-hours Ukranian eatery has been an East Village crowd pleaser since 1954, a cozy institution for late night piergogi, borscht, and potato pancakes. Their all day breakfast is a blend of classic staples and Eastern European specialties, ...more
City Bakery
3 W 18th St #1, New York, NY 10011
Aleksandra Hogendorf's rating:xxxxx
Behold the pretzel croissant. Long before the cronut took over the scene, this signature hybrid pastry with a cult following made City Bakery a destination. Though the breakfast pastry menu extends to a delicious selection of freshly baked muffins, scones, and biscuits, the pretzel croissant is the crowning glory ... more

Doughnut Plant
379 Grand Street, New York, NY
Aleksandra Hogendorf's rating:xxxxx
There are a couple of serious contenders in the New York doughnut game, but dare I say that the Doughnut Plant is the crème de la crème. With such flavors as peanut butter and banana cream, tres leches, crème brulee, carrot cake, and seasonal favorites such as panettone, marzipan, roasted chestnut, and rose petal, ...more
Balthazar
80 Spring St, New York, NY 10012
Aleksandra Hogendorf's rating:xxxxx
A classic masterpiece on the New York brunch landscape, Balthazar is a piece of Paris reincarnated on Spring Street. The Sunday brunch is epic, with such showstoppers (besides the clientele, which regularly includes A-listers) as sour cream hazelnut waffles, eggs bella donna, and a ratatouille omelette, a selectio ... more
Nom Wah Tea Parlor
13 Doyers Street, New York, NY 10013-5104, United States
Aleksandra Hogendorf's rating:xxxxx
When eggs and pancakes become tired and lackluster, there’s nothing like a dim sum brunch to bring a dose of fresh tastes and culinary excitement to your brunch game. Nom Wah Tea Parlor is the city’s oldest dim sum joint and a classic choice. Though renovated a couple of years ago, Nom Wah retains its vintage char ... more
Buvette
42 Grove Street, New York, NY 10014
Aleksandra Hogendorf's rating:xxxxx
It’s easy to fall in love with Buvette, as this charming gastrotheque delivers a delightful blend of elegance and comfort, Parisian allure and the coziness of home. It’s both Old World, and neighborhood go-to spot, perfect for any time of day. But there’s nothing like mornings in the West Village, and the breakfas ... more
OatMeals
120 W 3rd St, New York, NY 10012, United States
Aleksandra Hogendorf's rating:xxxxx
This unassuming Greenwich Village hole-in-the-wall is the world’s first Oatmeal Bar. The signature oatmeal bowls (in the adorable “baby/mama/papa bear” sizing) offer a plethora of choices for both sweet and savory meals, from the classic comforts of brown sugar cinnamon raisin or blueberry maple walnut, to more ex ... more
Two Hands
164 Mott Street, New York City, New York State
Aleksandra Hogendorf's rating:xxxxx
Coffee is religion for many New Yorkers, and a good cup of joe is easy to find throughout the city. Specialty roasters and serious coffee shops speckle the island and outer boroughs, but a new breed of java has recently invaded town- the Aussies have arrived. Two Hands is one of a handful of newcomers that has gar ...more
