New York: Breakfast for one

I love to go out for breakfast, even on my own. I spent many mornings in New York sitting alone and eating half of whatever I ordered whilst planning my day. That is one of the best ways to start a long day of walking and luckily I don’t mind my own company. D would head off to work whilst I stumbled around the streets hoping to come across a traditional diner. It’s not so easy to find a good old American diner in the centre of New York but there are still some good options about. On this particular day I stopped at the Brooklyn Diner which was hiding near Times Square. I was leaving the house at 7:30 so by the time I was having breakfast it was still very early and I usually had the diner to myself. Blueberry pancakes and bottomless coffee set me up well for the day. My order came to around $9.00 and then I added the tip.

Do you mind spending time alone?

I have the same mind set as u. I still can enjoy myself while eating alone. Some of ppl feel weird but I don’t

Not having to make my own (and 5 others) breakfast sounds fun! I’d def go to breakfast alone.

I cant remember the last time I ate alone in a restaurant. Its been too long and I could really use some alone time (and blueberry pancakes)

Hello! I’ve just come across your blog from HelloCotton and immediately got lost reading your posts Anyway, latest follower here! I actually do like spending time alone, but I’ve never stuck myself out in a city and just gone “right Rachel, the world [well, city] is your oyster – go have a solo adventure”. I think I worry that I won’t enjoy being alone in THOSE circumstances. That being said, there’s nothing more I enjoy than going for a long walk in the woods on my own…

That diner looks INCREDIBLE, and I am always in the mood for pancakes *_* I don’t mind spending time alone either, but if I’m alone for 2+ hours I get a little antsy!

I used to be one of those people who hated doing things alone, but when I found myself living alone in NYC, I suddenly became one of those people had no problem going out and asking for a table for one. It’s peaceful.

I like spending time alone but it rarely happens, I think I need to take more me time.

That looks delicious. I am a fan of me time, at least an hour a day, sometimes more. I’m not sure why though xx
