Deciding where to go for an inexpensive breakfast on weekends in downtown Tarrytown can be difficult. There are not many choices.

But the following guide can help; it provides information on low-cost places that open early on Saturday and Sunday. The opening hours shown are apt to change as the weather warms up so checking ahead is advised. 

This guide is intended for the budget-minded. Restaurants serving expensive fare such as high-cost, late-morning brunches are not covered.

Tarrytown street parking meters including short-term (15-minute) meters as a general rule do not require feeding with coins on Sundays or holidays.

Here are places to consider for breakfast:
