What to do extremely early in Belfast?

Going to Belfast for the first time. Can check in to our hotel at 3pm. The only flights I can find get us in at 7.20 or 23.40 so obviously we'll be going for the early one!

Any suggestions as to where to go for breakfast or what to do that first day?

it takes a while to get from the airport into the city - I landed at about that time, and didn't get in until about 9 I think. I left my luggage at the hotel, and then had the day to do stuff. I had breakfast out, and then did a walking tour - I think there were some at 10, and then there are always bus tours, titanic museum (earlier tickets were less crowded), the city hall museum which was free, a long walk in the gardens that the bus tour stops at, lots of coffee stops, etc.

I did another day where I got up very early and took the train to Coleraine, and then the bus along the coast that stops at the famous sites including Giant's causeway, the rope bridge, other castles etc., but before the tour buses get there. I woudln't do that on the first morning though as it was full day very tiring trip in the end!

Could you get a paper round? Earn a bit of money and also see the sunrise over the slipway, where the Titanic was built?
