    If you want a traditional sit at the counter, white paper hat, hot cup o joe diner. This is the place, staff fits NYC stereotype to a T. And when brunch is $14.50 total for 2... It makes it the best.

    Sausage patty, egg, and cheddar sandwich on an everything bagel was the best I've had (surprising from a diner). Get there before 11am and they have a really good $5 breakfast special

    25 years in the neighborhood, this place is an institution, and it's a travesty that the new building owners are trying to drive them out... support the best coffee in the 'hood!

    The "Fish on a bun" is a no frills, delicious sandwich. Crispy fried fish, iceberg lettuce, tangy tarter sauce and great sesame seed bun.

    I have had coffee every day here for the last 17 years and it's by far the best coffee in town. If you're down in Chinatown, it's worth your time to come over for breakfast.

    This place was around when my parents lived in my unit and is still a neighborhood staple. Crazy friendly owner who remembers me only after two times. Lovely.

    Be transported to New York City of the 1970s with metal barstools, an overhead menu and milkshakes in tall, chilled glasses. We recommend the Cheeseburger.

    The pancakes are well-constructed, indeed. Very respectable batter that achieves the desired fluffiness and bounce.
