I can't say enough fantastic things about this AMAZING diner! The food is fresh & homemade. You can choose deli sandwiches or hot lunch plates with giant portions & 2 sides! Lunch plates run as low as 12 with 2 sides. Check them out if you are hungry and in a hurry.

Good food at a reasonable price, which is getting to be hard to find. Nice basic breakfast, or bagel or sandwiches were tasty and prob the lowest price in the neighborhood. There are places nearby that charge twice as much but aren’t necessarily better. I love a good soup, and they have a lot of them. Service was good to me the times I’ve eaten there.

Not too busy for a Sunday morning. Great breakfast sandwiches and the Turkey melt was amazing. Pancakes for my 8yr old were perfect! The sweets looked amazing but we had no room left to try them. The girl at the register took my order kindly and patiently. Overall an awesome experience!

This is my first time ordering a cream cheese with salmon lox everything bagel. I also added to sunny side up eggs. The food quality is great!!! It tasted awesome and it was more food than I thought. The quantity was worth the price. The service was a little confusing, but I appreciate the cook helping me order because that is my first time there as a traveler. I recommend them. Fresh food and it’s made in front of you. No surprises. I would come again if I ever come back!

Best quick breakfast in New York. egg and bacon sandwich coffee for only 6. This is a quiet place, it is located near central park and the natural history museum, a stone's throw from columbus square. The staff is kind and discreet, the place is clean and the food is plentiful and above all it leaves you full for the whole morning and even longer. Right portions and nice atmosphere.
