Breakfast

[fat potato]

We're in town for the weekend staying @ the London NYC on 54th between 6th & 7th Ave. we're looking for someplace to walk out and have breakfast other than the usual deli suspects.

Nougatine, at Central Park West and 60th St., makes one of the best breakfasts I've had in NYC. It's expensive.

I think Michael's is a huge rip-off for quite ordinary food and clubby in a very silly way. Unless you are known to them, or a media or publishing celeb, you can count on being ignored and put at a less desirable table. Certe is on the same block, and if you are looking for something homey and good it's a winner.

Walk to the Subway and head to Dominique Ansel or Buvette. Seriously.

One of my favorite breakfast spots in midtown is Certe (on 55th btw. 5th & 6th), takeout in the front and a hidden, sweet little dining room in the back, where they also prepare catering orders. Great if you want a step up from a coffee shop but not too fancy, great breakfast specials and home-baked goodies.

Bouchon Bakery in the Time Warner Center. It would be more of a brunch than breakfast, unless you take the bakery items to go

If you don't mind taking a little stroll, walk over to 9th avenue, from 57th down to about 39th street there are a million good options. My favorites for brunch over there are Eatery, Nizza, Marseille, and El Centro.

The side cafe at Petrossian is a great place to sit over a pastry and a coffee. It's not a full breakfast, but I like the space. There's also Norma's at Le Parker Meridien.
