Black Seed Bagels Midtown

7:30 AM — Grab-and-go at Black Seed Bagels

Fuel up with a wood-fired bagel and hot coffee right inside Rockefeller Center. Fast, consistent service makes this an easy stop for office workers, media teams at NBC Studios, and visitors starting a Midtown sightseeing day.

7:40 AM — Take a moment on Rockefeller Plaza

Step out onto Rockefeller Plaza before the crowds build. Early mornings are calm—light reflects off 30 Rock, skaters begin warming up at the Rockefeller Center Skating Rink, and landmarks like Radio City Music Hall and Fifth Avenue icons such as Saks Fifth Avenue sit just steps away.

From here, Midtown opens up quickly. Walk toward Times Square, Broadway and the Theater District, or head east toward Bryant Park and the New York Public Library. Museums like Museum of Modern Art are also within easy walking distance.
