The MICHELIN Guide to the New York Power Breakfast

"Created to bring sophisticated Italian cooking to Manhattan, this midtown hotspot marries art and gastronomy with a seasonal menu of Italian dishes given a modern twist. For breakfast, the eggs section is essential: the Crostino Americano stacks sunny-side-up eggs, bacon, tomato, avocado, and potatoes on toasted sunflower bread, while classic avocado toast is a reliable go-to; for something sweet, the raisin brioche French toast with crème anglaise and mixed berries hits the mark. Order a simple orange juice, and know that over-easy eggs seared in a very hot pan are the move; tiramisu is the desert-island treat, and the pasta section remains a favorite." - Kevin Chau
