Best Breakfast Restaurants in Midtown-Times Square

Heritage Grand Restaurant & Pizza Bar brings a polished, Mediterranean-leaning menu of ancient-grain breads, wood-fired pizzas, and mezze to a handsome dining room just off Bryant Park. Opened in 2023 by restaurateur Lou Ramirez, it draws theatergoers, office diners, and locals for everything from happy hour to late-night olive oil cake.

This buzzing all-day Italian offers house-made pastas and wood-fired dishes steps from Bryant Park. The signature rigatoni vodka with optional burrata has earned a devoted following, while the negroni bar and aperitivo hour bring Milanese cocktail culture to Midtown.

A polished New American brasserie inside the Refinery Hotel that’s built for Midtown utility: strong brunch energy, a reliable bar, and a dinner menu that plays classic favorites with modern restraint. The kitchen’s best lane is roast-and-pan comfort—well-executed proteins, satisfying pastas, and a room that makes business meals feel less fluorescent.

A high-traffic, park-facing dining room where the draw is the setting—especially outdoors—paired with a broad American menu that includes reliable seafood options. Best used as a “scene + seafood” lunch or early dinner: pick a strong fish main, add a classic starter, and let the location do the rest.
