Abigail's

Upper West Side mornings run on coffee and conversation. Abigail’s slots neatly into that rhythm, serving breakfast plates alongside espresso and wine before most places open their doors. The menu leans west, with avocado toasts and grain bowls that keep pace with the neighborhood’s preference for lighter, plant-friendly starts. Beer, cocktails, and a happy-hour spread round out the day, so the same corner table can host a 9 a.m. latte and a 6 p.m. negroni without missing a beat.

You’ll find the spot at 2672 Broadway, between 101st and 102nd Streets, where the subway grate hums and the brownstones cast long shadows by late afternoon. Brunch crowds spill onto the sidewalk most weekends, while weekday regulars claim the stools inside. Vegan and vegetarian options share space with heartier fare, and the bar pours everything from cold brew to hard liquor—no specialty glassware required. Call (917) 261-7333 to check seating or grab a takeout order before the next rush.

Directions are a tap away: map. If the line snakes past the door, the deli next door sells lottery tickets and gossip while you wait.
