The practice of breakfast eating could be one of the most debated and over analyzed topics of all time. But just how important is the most important meal of the day? For years we’ve known that eating a nutritious breakfast every morning is the key to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

So if you’re trying to sustain a long and healthy life, or just need an excuse to eat more pancakes, by all means get your breakfast on. And if restaurant week has got you hungry, whether you’re an egg lover or loather, bacon fiend or foe, check out these amazing breakfast spots in Hudson County.
