1. Half King
The Irish breakfast here includes two eggs, Irish bacon, bangers, black-and-white pudding, beans, toast, home fries, and—in a gesture toward cholesterol awareness?—a grilled tomato. Don’t miss the homemade raisin scones.
505 W. 23rd St., nr. Tenth Ave.; 212-462-4300

2. Fitzer’s
This quaint little spot inside the Fitzpatrick Hotel serves a traditional Irish breakfast every morning, St. Patrick’s Day included. But you’ll need a reservation.
687 Lexington Ave., nr. 57th St.; 212-486-1497
