Mr.GreyOctober 3, 2010My favorite 24-hour diner in NYC. Always check out the pierogi specials. The borsch has the power to cure any illness. It could grow a limb.

"With real estate prices so high, most coffee shops don't even have space to sit. Here's a great, old school bookstore with a tiny cafe and ample seating. Great to meet up or do a little work."

"Awesome cafe variety. Weekday lunch and dinner aren't too crowded but get there early or prepare to wait for brunches on the weekends."
