Definitely Norma's. Legendary breakfast.
And definiely _not_ PHNY. As the hotel who inspired the famous phrase "the breakfast you're entitled to", one word: AVOID.
At a top-tier hotel, how on earth is "the breakfast you're entitled to" even a thing that can possibly exist?
At first, it's a shock to discover that a top-tier hotel nickels-and-dimes their guests.
If a future post claims that the accountants came in with a precise micrometer to measure and charge you for how many millimeters of soap you consumed off their luxury bar of soap, it would not be a total surprise.

Are there any breakfast options close to the hotel? I have a 6 night stay coming up and don't have top tier status so no free breakfast. I am traveling with my wife and two small kids. We might pay for room service breakfast for one morning but based on the comments on this thread doesn't seem worth it to pay those prices for all 6 days. I haven't been to New York for many years so don't know what the local neighborhood is like.
There are a ton of food delivery services in NYC including Seamless/Grubhub, UberEATS, Delivery.com and I'm sure plenty others.

Hi CloudCoder! The full breakfast at the Park Hyatt New York is the 57th Street Breakfast (57th STREET BREAKFAST: Your Choice of Eggs any Style served with Breakfast Sausage, Country Ham or Bacon, Pastry or Toast, Juice, Hot Morning Beverage). If the guest decides to do a la carte, they would receive the value of the 57th Street Breakfast ($41 per person) and anything above would be charged to the guest. So, for two in-room guests booked through Privé, each guest will receive the $41 breakfast credit. I hope this helps!

It's totally unrelated to food or money. it's strictly the principal of being "limited" to absolutely the single cheapest breakfast on the menu. The WoH terms and conditions state that a Globalist gets "one breakfast entree", implying a choice.. But PHNY interprets this as "you can choose ONLY the Single Cheapest Entree On The Menu". Yes, it pisses me off that the alleged "flagship" hotel of the whole chain is so miserly. It's not about breakfast. It's not about entrees. It's about nickel-and-dime-ing their customers, for no apparent reason. The breakfast is the most visible symptom, yet the syndrome runs deep.

I agree the PHNY nickels and dimes people to the point that it's a turnoff, but it's unclear how your complaint leads you to your apparent conclusion that one person should get two credits.

Getting around the hotels artificial limitation would require something like 1.3 breakfast credits. But how can someone obtain 0.3 of a credit? There are ways to obtain a full credit.
What if we took all the times that I was "entitled" to a free Globalist breakfast, but an early flight required me to leave the hotel before breakfast begins? Convert all those "missed breakfasts" into credits. Repeat for all the Globalists who had early flights and missed breakfasts. Then give all those credits to the poor poor starving PHNY, so they can improve their image and stop acting like such a cheap and stingy operation. It's just a suggestion..
Or, really and truly, what if I decide to SKIP the "free" breakfast at PHNY? Do you think they would credit my account $41? Of course not, and here's why: cheap pettiness works only in ONE direction, i.e. from hotel to customer. If *I* do it, I'm cheap and petty . If *THEY* do it, they're frugal and wise.
