Revel in the sheer improbability that a place like this has resisted all pressure to sell out in order to keep serving classic American diner fare among the skyscrapers of the Financial District.

This diner offers everything from grilled cheese to burgers to Greek specialties. It's also perfect for dropping in with your sunglasses on for copious amounts of coffee and a big hangover breakfast.

The tiny stand-alone diner has been around since the early 1960s and still serves affordable breakfast specials, burgers and homemade soup. Read more

Out of the way and worn down, exactly how it's always been and exactly what you want in the rare old classic diner. Perfect for breakfast before work.

This is a perfect getaway from the Financial District atmosphere. A relaxed and friendly staff that treat you like you're family make you always feel welcomed.

Blueberry pancakes are filled with flavorless blueberries. The pancake mix is pretty good, but the flapjacks lack proper fluffiness. The butter is soft and whipped, which pleased me, highly.

Coffee refill is great. (Doesn't taste like they scraped it from the bottom of the North River) Breakfast was fresh and piping hot every morning we went there. Service is quick and friendly...

Massive portions, edible food, cheap prices and quality service. The perfect diner I say! (Just don't get the chocolate milk here)

Authentic diner in heart of FiDi. Great alternative to the chain restaurants in the area - cheaper and tastier

Stumble to the nearest comfortable resting place after savoring blueberry pancakes (nothing frozen), potatoes, and a vanilla milkshake.

Staple diner for the area. Standard food in what feels like a Manhattan stereotype from a film.

Has the best affordable prices in the area. Great portion of servings and waffles !

It's a diner. Great food, quick service, very genuine NYC diner, great prices. Don't expect The Ritz!

The menu says eggs any style but I couldn't get mine poached. My corned beef hash is ruined! J/K. A bit disappointed

Cheap food but it shows... Eggs weren't all the way cooked

Don't come before 2PM!! Cramped and noisy otherwise. I like sitting in the booth even when I am not with anyone.

Service is slow, not too polite to customers. They could care less, had to wait 15 minutes just to get a menu
Raj S.August 27, 2010
Souvlaki. Do it.
Torrey FMarch 18, 2014
Do not go here if you are in a rush. The service is super duper slow.
Casey McguirlDecember 12, 2010
Service is slow. Waited 20 minutes before they acknowledged. Another 10 minutes before we could order. Food was cold and horrible.
Anthony QuigleyOctober 3, 2015
Slow service and the food is not anything to call home about.

Mmmm. Mediterranean Omelet is good.

Customer service is HORRIBLE! Sat for 10 mins and was never acknowledged so I left and they could care less.
Jim SweeneySeptember 21, 2013
Omg! Terrible food! Wondered why the home fries were so bland and then I realized there were NO onions or peppers or ANYTHING else except potatoes in them! I'd stay away!
