    Every time I stay in NY midtown I eat here. The staff separates this diner from others. Love going into a spot where the staff is always friendly at 3 AM.

    This was my first New York d I need experience. It was fantastic, the staff is very hospitable and the chow was awesome. Can't go wrong with corned beef hash!

    A reliable little corner diner packed with patrons and full of New York attitude. Try the Eggs Benedict and a Bloody Mary.

    Typical american diner experience. Fried eggs, brown potatoes, filter coffee - all the real deal. A bit pricey for what it gives but good option for breakfast if you're around.

    Straightforward and honest service. Reasonably priced breakfast. I had 2 eggs and toast. Brits, it comes with potatoes, which seems to be the standard in NYC

    Eating here is like having Thai massage with a happy ending: It does the trick, doesn't cost too much, but wildly unfulfilling.

    Ok place to eat...although NOT my 1st choice. I give it 3 out of 5 stars.. Decent service (4 stars) but food was a bit wah-wah...it went cold very quickly. (2 1/2-3 stars) Total score: 3 stars.

    My favorite diner has fallen to the age of price gouging and taking advantage of tourists. Sad.
