“10 Great Places to start your day sunny side up”

Now here’s an eye-opener:  Januaury is “Resolve to Eat Breakfast Month.”´So, before the month is out, we asked Eddy Chavey, food historian, breakfast expert and creator of a website dedicated to his passion for the most important meal of the day (mrbreakfast.com), to share his favorite places with Kathy Bafuffi for USA TODAY.

Chefs come here for breakfast because everything, from the dill onion bread to the sausage is homemade. “You get a comfortable vibe when you see their white picket fence on the busy Upper West Side. It’s a cool, relaxing joint to get a hometown-style breakfast,” Chavey says. “The Grammercy Park omelet, made with apple slices and Vermont cheddar is a standout. Go on a weekday to avoid the long weekend lines.”
