Around here, breakfast is done the old way: early hours, big plates, and rooms that haven't changed much in decades. These picks span Herkimer to Sylvan Beach so there's a real option wherever you wake up.
A 1952 Mountainview diner car in Herkimer with all-day breakfast and famously oversized omelets. Opens early enough for the pre-work crowd.

Specialty stacks and pancake flights in a 1912 building that was once the beach's post office. A summer-morning ritual before the amusement park.
Breakfast and lunch until mid-afternoon in Little Falls' Canal Place, with a screened porch in season — a standard stop for Erie Canalway cyclists.
Dominican breakfast — mangu with fried cheese and salami — from 9 a.m. on Bleecker Street, when you want something other than eggs and homefries.
