Getting the day underway, Michelle Trachtenberg was spotted grabbing up breakfast with friends at Toast in West Hollywood on Tuesday (October 13).

Smiling as she toted a to-go box while exiting the popular local eatery, the "Mercy" actress is fresh off of celebrating her birthday - as she turned 24-years-old over the weekend.

Meanwhile, Michelle recently chatted with press about pulling double duty with two television show, as she stars in both "Gossip Girl" and "Mercy".

Of the difference between the two gigs, Miss Trachtenberg tells, "It's definitely the shoes. We go from Louboutins to nurse clogs. They are more comfortable, definitely. I guess the biggest difference is that there aren't as many young kids. I also can't imagine with Mercy we're all going to have hundreds and hundreds of screaming girls running after all of the boys. There might be a few older ladies running after Tupper, which is still fantastic. They're two completely different experiences. I love my Gossip Girl family. We are all good friends and love each other. I'm excited to start a new family, and family is family — you never leave them."
