If you were to ask a fifteen year old or a fifty year old what foods New York is known for, after Pizza and Bagels they’d probably mention a bacon egg and cheese on a roll. While we all know the best place to grab the original thing is at the bodega nearest your current location, we wanted to put together a list of all the breakfast sandwiches we’ve come to love in New York. From those offering something totally unique to singular takes on the classic, here is where we’re getting our morning doses of carbs & protein.
