NYC’s 10 Best Diners
10. Tom’s Restaurant. 2880 Broadway at 112th Street. A neighborhood institution and best diner in the area. Famous for being featured in the outside shot on the TV show Seinfeld. Also the title of hit song, Tom’s Diner by Suzanne Vega in 1981. Try the breakfast or triple deckers. Open 24 hours.
9. Odessa Restaurant. 119 Avenue A, East Village. Another good Russian diner with the best potato pancakes. Try the combination platter with pierogi, stuffed cabbage, potato pancakes, and kielbasa to share for dinner. Service can seem slow or rude but do not take this personally. The food is always good, I am never disappointed.
8. The Diner. 85 Broadway, between Berry Street & Wythe Avenue, Brooklyn. Eat a delicious Churrizo sandwich, my favorite, a grassfed burger, or even a chocolate sandwich for dessert. I also recommend the meatloaf platter. Higher end diner food experience.
7. Shopsin’s. Essex Street Market, 120 Essex St, Stall 16, LES. This is a small no BS diner in Essex Street Market. The service can be a bit harsh so do not expect to be treated like royalty at this busy New York diner. While here, look around this incredible market for good fresh produce, meats, and fish.
6. Empire Diner. 210 10th Avenue, East Village. This is not a traditional New York Diner. Empire Diner touts itself as hip and stylish. The beautiful art deco diner building was constructed in 1949 and is a highlight. Good picture opportunity out front. Open 24 hours. Serves high quality and fresh food diner foods, the ice cream is even Hagen Das.
