    Stop in here for what may be the best pancakes in Midtown - buttery, slightly crispy, and fluffy.

    The amount of food is impressive and makes the price worth it. Got the three egg omelet with cheddar cheese, mushrooms and spinach. Delicious! Atmosphere is busy and the decor is really neat.

    Loved the atmosphere, service was also great. People were right about the cheesecake, it's delicious to go with green sencha tea. I wouldn't recommend the Caesar salad, it hadn't chicken in it ;)

    Great little place to grab a quick bite before heading to catch a train at Grand Central Station. Also great for a good business lunch or just a place to get the weather. Basic diner food.

    You can count with a good breakfast, lunch or dinner in the weekends, when everything is closed around. Very good menu and friendly service.

    Booth seats next to the windows are nice! The pancakes with fresh strawberries are a must. Same goes for the New Yorker with poached eggs!

    It's good food and booze and is across from Grand Central. If that's all you need, it's got those.

    Order the veggie chili or mac and cheese. Just do it. I love Pershing Square because it's comfortable and classy, but not pretentious.

    I had the steak & eggs - the steak was a perfect rare and well-seasoned; the eggs were right, but the potatoes were a bit underdone and a touch bland.

    Mediocre food with great NYC buzz with . Good omelet, cold home fries, paper thin bacon. French Toast more like fried bread, sausages was good, coffee awful. Seek other option
