Ellen's Stardust Diner – diner

Set at 1650 Broadway in the heart of Manhattan's Theater District, this all-day American diner built its reputation on a singing waitstaff drawn from Broadway's own performer pool, who wait tables between numbers from classic musicals. It was founded by Ellen Hart Sturm, once crowned Miss Subways in 1959 before a singing and acting career, and it leans into that theatrical history with a lively room rather than a quiet stop. Classic diner plates share the menu with a rotating shake of the month, and the space hosts group events and private dining. Service runs the full day, every day.
