New York City Restaurants-Breakfast and Brunch

____________________________________________

E. J.'s Luncheonette
These diners (there are several locations in Manhattan), which offer comfort food and blue-plate specials, are really at their best for breakfast. They serve a variety of pancakes, waffles and French toast, along with other breakfast choices. Great kid-friendly menu. Be aware that weekend brunch is a popular New York activity and there can be very long lines. Daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Reservations not accepted. $. No credit cards. 1271 3rd Ave. (at 73rd Street; near the 77th Street subway station), Manhattan, New York City. Phone 212-472-0600. Fax 212-472-0699.

Sarabeth's Kitchen
Weekend crowds flock to this homey Upper West Side eatery, and no wonder: The thoughtful offerings range from chive-scrambled eggs to pumpkin waffles with a generous dollop of sour cream. The homemade preserves are always warm, and the baked goods are also delicious. Monday-Friday for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Saturday and Sunday for brunch and dinner. $$. 423 Amsterdam Ave. (between 80th and 81st Streets; near the 79th Street subway station), Manhattan, New York City.

Veselka
Though this onetime greasy-spoon eatery has gone a tad upscale, it remains an East Village institution thanks to good Ukrainian-influenced diner fare. We like the potato pierogies and raspberry pancakes. The low prices and round-the-clock service make it a favorite of New York University students. Daily 24 hours. $. No credit cards. 144 2nd Ave. (at East 9th Street; near the Astor Place subway station), Manhattan, New York City. Phone 212-228-9682.
