Breakfast is the best meal of the day. That's how it is
The life of the tourist is hard. That's why a good breakfast is essential to endure the walks along Fifth Avenue and endless shopping. Forget the carts on the street, here are eight places where you can have breakfast even at any time of the day. (And, besides, let's face it: there is no better meal than breakfast).
Why would anyone want to eat anything other than breakfast? Why? We can't help it and, for many reasons, we are blind followers of Leslie Knope (Parks and Recreation), but above all we are because of his passion for the breakfast ; the best meal of the day , the one that gives you energy to get through the day, as your mother used to say (and says). The one in which, they say (or we want them to say), that you can eat all you want . That's why we invented brunch.
The best breakfast according to The New York Times
Let's not fool ourselves, brunch is nothing more than an excuse to extend breakfast and make it much more abundant. New York, the city that lives by and for brunch , of course she also loves breakfast and there are even plenty of places where you can enjoy it for 24 hours to keep Leslie Knope and us her parishioners happy.
EGG
The best breakfast for The New York Times . Without discussion. And we just reconfirm. This first meal of the day mecca serves, as the name suggests, eggs, lots of eggs from local farms. Los Rothko, with cheese, ham and biscuit , are its specialty and that is why this Williamsburg establishment recently had to expand its location and hours: it serves breakfast until 3 p.m. on weekdays, until 2 p.m. on weekends, when brunch-addicts take to the streets . You come to Egg for the eggs, but you repeat for their pancakes. Live!
BALTHAZAR
In this mythical French brasserie in Soho you ask for le petit dejeuner , although curiously one of its star dishes is the classic english breakfast (eggs, bacon, baked beans and toast) . And eggs, in any style, are also the main food on their menu, but not the reason to go, always better during the week, to rub shoulders with lifelong New Yorkers . The best thing about Balthazar is its bakery, its patisserie, its bakery/pastry shop and those freshly made croissants or pains au chocolat serving at breakfast from 7.30 in the morning. In addition, probably one of the few places in New York where you can find crusty bread.

VESELKA
In 2014 this diner ukrainian celebrated 100 years serving breakfast 24 hours a day. Surprisingly, though, the busiest are in the wee hours, when the bars in the East Village are closing and the hungry flock to Veselka to soak up the night in the famous **blintzes (Ukrainian cheese-filled pancakes) ** or the regular pancakes or potato Only the insatiable, dare at any time with the Ukrainian combos that include different varieties of meat and, of course, pierogis.

CLINTON ST. BAKING COMPANY
There's a place in New York that is **synonymous with pancakes** and that place is Clinton St. Baking Company. The devotion is such that the wait during the weekends can exceed two hours. That is why it is best to go during the week and order their fluffy pancakes in the morning, but also at night. In Clinton St. they have something so sweet for our ears and palates as is the Breakfast for dinner . Yes, pancakes at 8 in the morning, but also at 8 at night, perhaps the best time as they taught us without realizing it 'the ladies who go to the Vip's to go blind with pancakes'. And if the pancakes already seem attractive to you, wait until you see their accompaniments.
PANCAKES!
JACK'S WIFE FREDA
The cute breakfast from the list because of its location, its name, its decoration and its menu that offers breakfast from an anchovy baguette to a sandwich with duck ham and fried egg. Speaking of ducks, if their duck bacon is highlighted on the breakfast menu, it's for a reason. And, of course, lots of avocado.

HUG ESPRESSO
It may be the smallest cafe in New York , but also one of the best and not only for its coffee itself, but also for your select pastries . If you are looking for a place to buy breakfast to go, it is better to avoid the carts on the street with high-calorie industrial pastries and black water that they call coffee, and stop by this hipster corner that Serve the coffee in a glass. As you like.

BIG WONG KING

And, of course, tortillas with the ingredients of your choice.

ASIAN
A list of breakfasts in New York has to include yes or yes a breakfast with a view . And surely the Asiate, the coffee shop on the 35th floor of the Mandarin Hotel on Columbus Circle overlooking Central Park is the best choice. n. It is also because of the variety of its menu, from the inevitable eggs in different versions, to the Japanese breakfast (with tofu, salmon, miso soup…) or the Chinese breakfast (with dim sum, congee…). It is also the most expensive on this list, but remember those privileged views while you enjoy it and enjoy the most important meal of the day.
