A short walk from the hotel, this was a no Brainer for my breakfast needs. Nothing to speak of decor wise but fit the stereotypical nyc diner vibe. a pretty large menu with a ton of options was unexpected and def bumped itnup a star for me.b Food was decent. Nothing above a waffle house quality or something however the pancakes were pretty delicious. Not sure what they did with the batter but I will Def have those again. The real treat however with landmark and the reason for the forth star was the service. Was it over the top? No, what it was however was something out of a movie or sitcom. An older women running it all and one cook. Nyc diner all the way. She was all over the place. What are you gonna have, ok babe yelling at the cook. 2 eggs and cakes, bacon and fries, fresh oj, who's next.

It's what you imagine Bogart might have stopped in for a rainy late night coffee. Please give this lovely place your business. We have so few diners left in New York. This one needs to...
Read moreWe, a family of three, spent a week in NY in August 2023 and were lucky to choose this place as our regular breakfast shop right from the start. We never moved elsewhere as it simply does not get any better and more authentic than this. The staff is professional, quick and very friendly. Hard shell with a very soft core. After three days we were greeted like locals and got our known choice of beverages directly after entering without having to order. The food is delicious, nothing for people on a diet, and gave us strength to explore the city. This diner looks like being straight from a Scorsese movie. If you like posh places with ironed tablecloth do not go there. If you want to eat in an authentic diner mostly frequented by local people this is the...
