Surprised there were so few decent breakfast/brunch places in Midtown. Went by Johnâs and had a great time. Good typical diner experience. Food was fair to good. Eggs are (not sure why) very good. Fresh OJ! Decent sausage links. Smaller place but very efficient. Worth a visit!

On our recent tp nyc we stayed in a hotel near Ess a Bagle. Being a bagel lover I decided to try their famous bagels. Twice I struck out becsuae we did not think that any bagel is worth standing in line for half an hour or more. Finally on a Sunday morning the line was comparatively short and we managed to get a bagel...So here is the story: the bagel is indeed very good but whatever comes with it is not different than any other coffee shop-so the end result is not exceptional. However if you live near by you have a different line to pick up just the bagel and prepare your own dish with your products-especially coffee- than you may be able to enjoy the bagel fully.

We came here for breakfast and apparently, so do the locals! Excellent find! The restaurant was bustling with activity, even at 9:30am, which on a weekday, seems to be past peak hours. Our meal was plentiful and the service was excellent. Basic American breakfast choices. Cost was reasonable. Portion size was plentiful.

Traditional French Bistro from south west of France.
Reviewed By Antoinette S
Having been to Tournesol dozens of times, it is a go to restaurant in LIC. The food is French, delicious, beautifully plated and served promptly. From the Onion Soup to the yummy desserts, there is something for everyoneâs taste. It can be noisy as it is a typical bistro, but the atmosphere is so relaxed that it is acceptable. The salads and entrees are fresh and moderately priced. Definitely a fav!

I went for a bagel and coffee and it cost me $18 something!! It was their special smoked salmon with cream cheese, capers and red onion and a double espresso with milk. I wonât go back, well I canât afford to. Spent my daily allowance of food at breakfastBy the way the bagel was great but the coffee didnât have enough milk, they let it sit for a few minutes because they didnât like the look of me, or something, and their attitude was crap
