Breakfasts in the city

[Franko103]

I've been to NY once before and loved the delis for breakfast! Really like one opposite madison sq athough this was about 7 years ago so may not be there??

Any suggestions on the best delis for breakfast? Staying opposite carnegie hall although we'll be travelling around the city so any suggestions would be great!

Thanks

Even though the o.p. is staying near Carnegie Deli, I would not recommend he go there. Certainly not for the mediocre "cold cuts."

[italianagambino]

not the only reason it ws reccomended. and theyre going to breakfast and "cold cuts" dont generally fall into that category....

Thanks for the recommendations - to be more specific what were looking for is somewhere to get a quick breakfast ie bagels, eggs etc - if its a diner, deli, or whatever, any recommendations would be great. Thanks for the tip on Carnegie Deli - i'll avoid that for lunch!

The only diner I can think of across from Madison Square Garden is the Tick Tock Diner, on 34th Street and 8th Avenue. If that's the one you're thinking about (and I'm pretty sure it's the only diner in the immediate vicinity) then it's definitely still there, and still good for a quick breakfast.

We loved Leo Lindy's! It was really hopping and the food was great. We love to people watch and this place was full of people. The breakfast was great! The service was great! I really can't think of one negative thing to say about it.

Deli? Like a bodega? So you're looking to go in, get a sandwich at the counter and walk out?

Maybe OP means diner? Hmmm.

It's not a deli, but there is a cafe at the corner of the Wellington Hotel (that is on the same block) where you can get a good breakfast.
