The ultimate, hard to get your hands on before they sell out is the pistachio. Count yourself lucky if you get to bite into this one, because many have come before you and failed.
Shopsin’s on Essex Street now has two other locations, but there’s still a crowd so try to get here before the breakfast rush, or the small lull after. They don’t serve up your average basic breakfast fare here. They are absolutely decadent. Try the Mo’Betta which is maple bacon and scrambled eggs that is then made into a sandwich between two of their famous mac and cheese pancakes. Don’t come with a group, the most they will seat together is a party of four.
Clinton Street Baking Co. on Clinton Street always tops the best breakfast restaurant lists in NYC particularly for their pancakes. Although you can order your everyday Joe pancakes, you might want to go out on a limb and try one of their exquisite creative creations. If those might be a bit much for your breakfast they are also known for their scones. As this has long been a favorite breakfast joint in the city expect a wait in a long line no matter how early or late you arrive.
