New York Luncheonette – american_restaurant

A proper Midtown diner on East 50th, open around the clock and serving breakfast at every one of those hours. Pancakes come stacked with fruit and whipped cream or with bacon on the side, waffles the same way, and the French toast is what regulars steer newcomers toward. Omelettes run from mushroom and Swiss to a Mediterranean version; bagels arrive with cream cheese and lox; burgers and pastrami sandwiches carry the later shifts. It is usually full, and the floor staff keep the turnover honest without rushing anyone. Booths, coffee, city attitude — the format works because they still do it properly.
