As fewer and fewer busy execs and other people of influence seem willing to put in the time for a long lunch these days, the networking and deals that once happened over fancy midday meals are now happening at all times of the day, including breakfast.
Keeping that in mind, we turned to our friends at Foursquare City Guide to find the top-rated places to have a power breakfast in New York City. To determine the list, Foursquare took into account a number of factors, including ratings, visits, the overall sentiment of its users' reviews, and the use of words like "power,""business," and "meeting" in reviews.
A number of classic New York power establishments made the list, but there are a few relative newcomers as well. Here's where to go to get your day started on the right foot — with eggs, coffee, and a side of business talk .

10. Michael's
A longtime destination for decision-makers in media and finance, Michael's is famous for its power breakfasts and lunches. You'll even find a "NY power breakfast" on the menu — it's a plate of egg whites, spinach, and citrus salad.
9. Norma's
Located to the side of the lobby at Le Parker Meridien hotel, Norma's is perhaps best known for its "Zillion Dollar Lobster Frittata," which comes topped with different amounts of Sevruga caviar. The cheaper version ($100) comes with one ounce of caviar, while the more expensive one ($1,000) comes with 10 ounces.
A note under the super-size frittata reads: "Norma Dares You to Expense This," a tongue-in-cheek nod to the restaurant's corporate crowd. The restaurant also has stellar blueberry pancakes and smoothies.
8. The Breslin
The Breslin has what many consider to be the city's best full English breakfast, served with pork sausage, black pudding, bacon, fried eggs, tomatoes and mushrooms.
There are also some excellent (and smaller) options, including a sourdough pancake served with Dutchess County maple syrup, as well as a chilled grapefruit drink with ginger sugar and mint.
