Since so many hotels in New York don’t include a breakfast in their price, the visitors often ask the question – ‘Where can I have a tasty breakfast in New York’? However, even if the hotel provides such an option, it’s highly recommended to skip your standard hotel breakfast on some days and choose any of the restaurants and cafes in New York. The correct breakfast is just what conveys the spirit of the city – it will help you to fully plunge into the city and see the real local life of the New Yorkers.
The following locations offer a delicious and healthy breakfast in New York. If you travel with 14CARS, then it will be easy to reach them early in the morning without wasting your time.
Buvette
This is an amazingly tiny and cozy place in Greenwich Village located at the intersection of Grove Street and Bleecker Street. The compact menu won’t make you choose painfully long, but without exception, whatever you choose there, each dish will be incredibly tasty and beautiful.
If you came there as a loving couple or alone, then the best thing to do, instead of sitting down at the table, would be to occupy seats right behind the bar, as in this case you will have the opportunity to watch documentary film about the work of one popular New York restaurant somewhere in the non-tourist area of the city.
The establishment is very popular among the New Yorkers, thus most likely you will have to stand in line while waiting for the free seat.
Address: 42 Grove Street, Greenwich Village
Jack’s Wife Freda
This is a small family bistro, named after the founder’s grandmother. The menu has the usual ingredients for Mediterranean cuisine, such as eggs, tomatoes, eggplants and avocados. Everything offered is exceptionally delicious.
This is one of those places where the setting and the people around you are the major things. It will be crowded and noisy, but this is what distinguishes all the popular and tasty places in New York. Most of the visitors are local youth, who appreciate the opportunity to have a tasty breakfast in the correct New York atmosphere.

Good Enough to Eat

The menu is quite simple and features common positions of American breakfast cafes, but everything is cooked exclusively and tasty – pay attention to local pancakes. In summer, the restaurant opens a great veranda – it’s better to choose a table located there.
Address: 520 Columbus Avenue, Upper West Side
Penelope
Penelope is another great place located on the border of Little Italy and Soho. Since 2003, this place remains one of the favorite restaurants for breakfast and Sunday brunches among locals, while others come there for the same reason from their neighborhoods in New York.

Penelope is called an American simple-food restaurant. The usual American morning set includes Bloody Mary, eggs, bacon, and of course pancakes, but everything is cooked very tasty.
Having come there in the morning, you need to be ready to wait for your table for 15-20 minutes.
Address: 159 Lexington Avenue, Soho
Dudley’s
The restaurant is located in the East Village, and the concept of “all day breakfast” makes it convenient for those who don’t like to wake up early – most often breakfast is served in New York restaurants until 11am.
Wonderful interior, delicious food and the complete absence of tourists make this place an ideal place for breakfast. It’s recommended to order pancakes with hazelnuts or bananas and avocado-toast.
On Saturday and Sunday it’s quite possible to stand in line for 5-10 minutes, since on ordinary working days of the week, finding a table without wasting time is not a problem.
Address: 85 Orchard Street, East Village
Two Hands
This is a small cozy cafe with a relaxed atmosphere and Australian cuisine situated in the Nolita area. At the weekend, there’re a lot of people there, Americans drink smoothies, read the morning papers and just chat with each other.
