Mariah Carey Finds a Favorite New N.Y.C. Breakfast Spot

Mariah Carey stepped out for brunch with a big group of friends at Cafeteria in New York's Chelsea neighborhood. The singer, and mom of two, dug into an omelet with spinach, caramelized onions and goat cheese – and she sipped mimosas during her leisurely afternoon meal.

"They pulled up in a black Bentley and made quite a stir," a source tells PEOPLE.

And the food must have been good – because the next day, Carey stopped into the 24-hour diner again for round two – this time at 6 a.m. wearing leggings, heels and a T-shirt with a screen-printed image of Marilyn Monroe. For breakfast this go-around? A bagel with lox, a catfish fry and orange juice.
