For a breakfast-on-the-go, this Upper West Side bakery and bagel shop is a fine choice. The bagels here are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, and there is a wide variety of spreads for schmearing, too.

Barney Greengrass is a true New York institution. The menu includes a long list of omelets and egg sandwiches; anything with smoked fish is the way to go. For first-timers, an ideal order is the eggs with a side of pastrami salmon. Barney Greengrass is closed on Mondays, but it otherwise opens daily at 8 a.m.

Part of Eli Zabar’s east side empire, E.A.T. is a diner-cafe mix that blends American breakfast classics with Jewish fare. Sit in the checkered room for dishes such as a ratatouille omelet, cheese blintzes with apple sauce, or a bagel with sturgeon.

Even if unknowingly, many New Yorkers have tried the bread from Sullivan Street, since it’s sold to many restaurants around the city. The dishes are just as fantastic, especially the soft eggs with prosciutto on brioche, which comes highly praised. The bakery opens daily at 7 a.m.

Major Food Group’s (the Grill, Carbone) Midtown Japanese restaurant has breakfast that’s decidedly more American than the lunch and dinner menus. Dishes such as an open-faced bagel and lox and a sticky bun pull from the group’s Soho Jewish restaurant Sadelle’s — though there is also a sausage and egg sandwich with shiitake mushrooms and shishito peppers. The colorful space may be a bit much early in the morning, but it’s certainly a unique option in Midtown.

Boqueria’s airy and bright Times Square location serves up a Spanish breakfast weekdays starting at a very early 6:30 a.m. Dishes such as tortilla Española; a fried egg English muffin sandwich with housemade chorizo, Mahón cheese, and sautéed kale; and churros with chocolate are on the menu alongside full coffee service.

Humanitarian chef Jose Andres’ Hudson Yards food hall Mercado Little Spain houses a full-service diner that offers a lovely breakfast starting at 7 a.m. daily. Pair eggs with morcilla and other pork products, eat classic tortilla, or try olive oil pancakes with honey. Wander around the rest of the expansive and varied space if there’s a wait.

The team at this Grand Central-adjacent bistro takes its pancakes very seriously. Whether traditional buttermilk or whole wheat, options include blueberry, strawberry, banana, or chocolate chip. The pancakes are so fluffy and buttery, a scoop of butter on the side is unnecessary. The rest of the breakfast menu is just like diner fare: not fancy or terribly interesting, but always solid.

Caffe Marchio, the casual stand-up coffee shop from Danny Meyer and Union Square Hospitality Group, is a Roman-style shop with high ceilings, standing tables, a long counter of Italian pastries on display, and a sandwich board menu of coffees from Joe Coffee. Breakfast service runs from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., when buttery biscuit egg sandwiches and apple fritters are available.

Black Seed goes big in Chelsea Market, where it opened an appetizing counter on the basement level. All the same wood-fired bagels are here in sandwich form such as a bacon, egg and cheese; salmon, egg, cream cheese, and sauteed onions; and ricotta, apple, and honey — but there’s also appetizing items sold from a counter like smoked fish, cream cheeses, salad, nut butter, and tinned fish. There are 16 seats to perch on, a rarity in Chelsea Market.

The celebrated cardamom rolls and cinnamon buns are a spectacular entry point at Fabrique, but there’s plenty more to explore at this new-to-the-city Swedish import. The pared-down breakfast menu features chia pudding, a selection of yogurts, and a ham and cheese sandwich that can be served on a sourdough roll or a croissant (ask for it toasted). Don’t leave without grabbing a loaf of bread for later. Opens at 7 a.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. on the weekends.

Legendary French bistro Pastis is back, in a just-as-stylishly appointed space in Meatpacking. Breakfast is a calmer time of day to patronize the Keith McNally classic — which he revived with new partner Stephen Starr — when dishes such as croque monsieur, ham-and-cheese crepes, and Belgian waffles are on the menu.

This is a great place for a breakfast meeting. High Street offers killer breakfast items, like an onion bialy with lox or an avocado tartine. But most exciting are star baker Melissa Weller’s pastries, including a black sesame kouign amann, pistachio croissant, and top-notch bagels.

Gabriel Stulman's charming aesthetic got a revamp when Perla flipped to Fairfax, an all-day cafe and wine bar resembling a living room. At breakfast time, settle into one of the leather couches or large armchairs for savory oatmeal, some eggs, or avocado toast with scallion cream cheese, gravlax, and everything spice. Served until 11:30 a.m. on weekdays.

The eggs at Jody Williams’s Grove Street charmer are cooked with the steam wand on the espresso machine, normally used to make a cappuccino — and they’re perfect. Starting at 7 a.m. daily, diners have the option of topping them with either smoked salmon or prosciutto. A waffle sandwich and plenty of pastries are also available at this petite restaurant.

This Ukrainian diner offers breakfast 24 hours a day. The menu has challah French toast, pancakes, waffles, and latkes served with sour cream and apple sauce. The blintzes and pierogis are especially great.

Longtime Noho cafe Great Jones Cafe has become the Jones, a casual all-day spot from esteemed neighborhood restaurateur Gabriel Stulman. Breakfast starts at 7:30 a.m. and includes an omelette, an egg salad sandwich, and eggs any way. There’s a new mahogany leather couch and communal table, but touches from the old cafe like an Elvis bust remain. 

Between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on a weekday is an easier time to sneak into this usually packed restaurant. Cuban-Mexican breakfast dishes include huevos rancheros, an egg sandwich with black beans, huevos divorciados (like huevos rancheros with salsa verde), and eggs with chorizo. Bonus: Most of the breakfast items at this Nolita restaurant clock in under $10.

This all-day cafe landed on the ground floor of Nolita’s Sister City hotel last year with a robust menu of toasts, pastries, sandwiches, bowls, and sides. Floret has a sprawling 186-seat space with nearly 50 seats outside in a garden patio and another 16 seats at the bar. The California-inspired cafe — from chefs Joe Ogrodnek and Andrew Whitcomb — serves a seasonally changing menu with items like banana macadamia bread, lemon ricotta griddle cakes, and avocado and egg served with sunflower seed hummus.

Open daily at 8 a.m., this stylish but sparse Japanese cafe serves breakfast toast sets that cost $9. Choose from pretty options like chocolate banana, ham and egg, and cheese curry. This cafe is the daytime place to be, especially for laptop workers.

The late Kenny Shopsin’s kids have kept this beloved diner going, even with a relocation across the street with the rest of Essex Market. The massive menu can be overwhelming to newcomers, but start with the “blisters on my sister” category, where anything from chickpea stew to a skillet of rice and beans comes topped with two sunny-side up eggs. Pumpkin pancakes are also a top choice. Note that Shopsins is closed Mondays and Tuesdays, and breakfast starts at 9 a.m.

All-day Malaysian cafe Kopitiam has made a splash with its reopening, expanding offerings to include more savory options, too. The sunny, colorful space from chef-owner Kyo Pang and partner Moonlynn Tsai kicks off breakfast service at 9 a.m. with dishes like kaya toast, half-boiled eggs with soy sauce and pepper, and fish ball soup. Closed Wednesdays.

Keith McNally’s aesthetic lends itself to the ground floor of the Beekman Hotel, where Augustine’s yellow-hued dining room presents a lovely setting for a leisurely breakfast. Now under chef Markus Glocker, the menu features traditional breakfast items like eggs en cocotte and grapefruit brulee, plus a Viennese breakfast that comes with charcuterie and cheeses. For true morning decadence, beignets are available.

This Australian cafe — with another location at 626 First Avenue in Murray Hill — offers up the breezy, down-under dishes for which the country is known. Avocado toast and flat whites are standout, as is the iced coffee come summer. Plus, there’s ample seating for a pre-work drop-by or a meeting, starting at 7 a.m.

Since the 1950s, George’s has been fueling the FiDi work crowd ahead of a day’s work. The no-nonsense diner is serving breakfast essentials like chocolate chip pancakes, eggs with hash browns, waffles, and omelets. The familial staff and setting at George’s are hard to find elsewhere.
