Best Breakfast in FiDi

Lower Manhattan doesn't have a reputation for great breakfasts. Black Seed Bagels in Brookfield Place is the exception worth knowing about.

Inside one of the city's most architecturally impressive food halls, steps from the Hudson River waterfront — this is where you go for a wood-fired bagel done right. House-made cream cheese spreads, smoked salmon classics, egg sandwiches, and coffee in a setting that feels a world away from the usual grab-and-go options downtown.

If you're in the neighborhood and you want the best breakfast in FiDi, this is the answer.
