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 enjoy 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 as easy as you would imagine to find a traditional American diner in the centre of New York, maybe I’m just looking for something out of the movies. Anyway, there are still some good options about, just take your time to find them and of course, make use of Foursquare.
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. I usually had diners to myself, not bad for the centre of NY. Delicious blueberry pancakes were stacked high and extra fluffy then a side of bottomless coffee set me up well for the day.
My order came to around $9.00 and then I added the tip – it was very good value for money.
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.
perfecto. pancakes were a strong choice. i spend a lot of time alone too you know, going for walks, taking pics, coffees, getting some fresh air. i’m getting a bike very soon so this is going to be fun!
cute! I don’t mind spending time alone every now and then. I definitely wouln’t mind spending it in a cosy little diner like that 😉
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.
This post makes me want to visit NYC again…
I like spending time alone but it rarely happens, I think I need to take more me time.

I adore doing things alone. There is nothing more peaceful then breakfast out alone. Love this post, thank you for sharing:)
I love doing these sorts of things, and this diner looks really atmospheric! Love the look of the pancakes too :p xx
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
