Il Fornaio is a great place for breakfast if you are in the New York New York area! I personally don't like the hotel breakfast buffets because I usually feel sick after. Breakfast foods were not meant for eating buffet style, especially eggs! I recommend the Omelette Alla Contandina(red onion, bacon, potatoes) with a side of Polenta, garnished with Gorgonzola. The Omelette is stuffed full of goodness and the Polenta with Gorgonzola was a nice addition to the meal! I'm not that picky about my coffee, but I thought the coffee was great. I absolutely loved the free toast that's served with butter and preserves as well! Don't go too late, breakfast ends around 10:30am in order to prepare for their lunch menu.
