    Grab the outdoor seating if the weather's nice, stuff your gullet with diner food, and come up for air between bites to watch the pretty people pass you by.

    One of the best burgers in New York! Old time classic diner! Also love Anna's pastry creations, especially her greek baklava and her carrot cake! You have to try it!!

    Inside its familiar blue, chrome fitted exterior, you’ll find red vinyl booths, wood-paneled walls decorated with pictures of celebrities, and a menu of Greek and American fare. Read more

    Great neighborhood spot. Kid friendly too. Note it’s cash only, but there’s an ATM outside.

    I was lured in by the aroma of cheeseburgers. Got a bacon cheeseburger and it was fantastic. The fries were fresh and the burger was probably 8 oz. I've had better milkshakes but theirs wasn't bad.

    The food is good albeit its price, but not mind blowing. There are cheaper diners around the area.
