This L.A favorite is making its mark on the east coast with a three-month residency inside Chefs Club Counter. The California breakfast sandwich staple has already attracted hordes of New Yorkers since its opening, so be ready to make a line for the best bacon, egg and cheese of your life. On the menu is a New York exclusive: brioche bun, smoked salmon, house-made fromage blanc dressing, Havarti cheese, and a sunny-side-up egg.

If a good old hand-rolled, wood-oven-baked bagel is what you crave, or you're hungover and need a cure, look no further than one of Black Seed Bagel's flavorful offerings. Fresh and right out of the wood-oven, their dough is both soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside, i.e. the way every bagel should be. Grab a classic everything with a big smear of cream cheese or explore their creative options, including the pepperoni pizza bagel.

For a filling, satisfying breakfast, Felice's menu offers pretty much everything you could want in the morning. Highlights: by far the best French toast in the city, authentic Italian baked eggs, and flavorful classics like avocado toast and eggs benedict. But seriously, get the French toast.
