Empanada Mama New York
The Benetton of empanadas (there are more than 40 kinds). We like the Hawaiian and Cuban versions, though the Polish, Greek, and dessert varieties are enticing. You can try them all, seeing as they will set you back only $2.50 a pop.

Permanent Brunch New York
Early riser, night owl. No matter your sleeping pattern, you’ll never miss the first meal of the day at this new East Village joint, where it’s all breakfast, all the time. (What could go wrong at the bacon bar?)

Fort Defiance New York
Pegu Club bartender and food writer’s eclectic cafe (Counter Culture coffee, egg creams, gingerade, baked goods), bar (cocktails inspired by an international adventurer from the ’40s), and nighttime eatery (small plates, sandwiches, and entrees by a former Good Fork chef).

'Ino New York
Cozy, quick bites start with wild panini and bruschetta combos. Extensive wine list to match. Truffled egg toast at 2 a.m.? Yes, please.

Pastis New York
Keith McNally’s overcrowded version of gay Paris. Scene always trumps substance with weekend brunch-fueled frenzies and serious standing lines. Learn to love your neighbor.

Cafe Habana New York
Much-adored Cuban sandwich joint is packed with scenesters for good reasons — referred to simply as plantains, cafe con leche, and corn on the cob.

Glaser's Bake Shop New York
Ride the nostalgia train: Ye olde German bakery hasn’t changed since 1902. Wooden apothecary cabinets lining the walls hold Bavarian baked goods like Manhattan’s mascot cookie, the stately black and white.

The City Bakery New York
Home of the famed pretzel croissant (the perfect marriage between sweet and savory) and the crazy-thick hot chocolate shot with homemade marshmallows.

Brown Cafe New York
Fat sandwiches, piles of magazines, the scent of coffee, and an inconspicuously handsome crowd.

Five Leaves New York
Greenpoint cafe gets a high five for its quaint and casual atmosphere. Bonus points for the Greenmarket cuisine (roast organic chicken with potato gratin, beetroot ravioli with sage burnt butter sauce, lamb shepherd’s pie). Early birds can get Ceci Cela pastries for breakfast and sandwiches at lunchtime.
