ideas for a quick/grab and go breakfast somewhere between the theatre district and Battery Park? doing the touristy Liberty Island ferry trip on Labor Day so trying to find something that's open before 11am.

Sceney, but in terms of food they are nothing to write home about.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

I find the food to be pretty good, particularly the pasta and feta app at Gitane. In terms of actual restaurants, current go tos are Charlie Bird and Pearl and Ash which are fantastic, but yeah barely a few months open. More than a year open, I'd have to say something like The Dutch I guess. But yeah maybe you guys are right, can't think of much else sub $100 pp. Yasuda maybe, but there are a few japanese places like that."My Roll is to Rock"

I don't understand why that's a bad thing, even with the food not being as bad as everyone here says it is. You go to different places for different reasons just like you buy clothing from different places for different reasons. People derive value in all sorts of different ways. None of which is objectively wrong.
You go to Gitane for the scene and the food and not primarily the food. It feels good, you see friends of yours, and you get a meal in. You go to Yasuda or Azabu for perfectly executed food with no scene. In the same way you can go to Uniqlo for almost 80% of your clothing if the goal is utilitarian with some aesthetic sensibility. Or you can go to Paul Harnden and look like a fucking farmer but you're buying into some sort of higher aesthetic goal that he's trying to convey, or whatever.
People really let their insecurity to be seen as taste makers affect their ability to see how shit actually goes down."My Roll is to Rock"

I agree... not about these specific places having never frequented them,but I feel like people are obsessed with "quality" "well executed"food. I make quality food daily @ home but my "last meal" would be a Carnegie deli corned beef/pastrami combo and a box of Entenmann's eclairs with a quart of ice cold milk for dessert.
original, original Ray's pizza would be a close second
I've got many vices but food has never been one. I especially have always hated pretentious "upscale" eateries. Scene places are, of course, pretentious but that's the definition of scene
as a footnote, the mass documentation of food on Instagram has me completely baffled
but hey, whateva
