This is a solid diner. My friends and I were surprised that there was no wait for brunch on a Sunday around noon. Seats here are in pretty close quarters, so I had to squeeze in between our table and the one next to us hoping I didn't knock anything over. It was a close call.
Our server was very nice, and the food came out pretty quickly. I had the one egg platter which came with toast and potatoes. I would definitely recommend adding a little hot sauce or ketchup on top, but I was happy with my food and cleaned my plate. Two of my friends had bagel sandwiches which looked good, and the other also had an egg platter. Beware of the orange juice — it costs $5+ a glass (the cost of a meal here). My friend was shocked by the price, although she said it did taste pretty fresh.
Standard diner fare at a clean, small luncheonette. Nothing more, nothing less.
Typical New York diner, cheap and cheerful, food came out fast, was hot and just ok. Only went because it was next door to the hotel, service was good, no complaints, standard menu with usual faire, burgers, chicken sandwiches, salads etc.
Many, many thanks to New York Luncheonette for staying open during the blizzard of January 2016. Despite nearly 30 inches of snow and a city-wide travel ban, the diner stayed open all day. We were stuck in NYC (flight cancelled) at the DoubleTree with no-where to eat — except here. We had a great dinner and great service under the worst possible conditions.
Thank you so much! We always come here for breakfast in New York City, but now love this place even a little bit more.
Yummy cherry pie a la mode, a perfect basic grilled cheese and crispy onion rings. Extensive menu, and perfect luncheonette setting.
We stopped here for breakfast because it was next to our hotel. BAD IDEA.
Our server asked us whether we would like coffee or juice even before we took off our coats and while it seemed nice of him at the time, I later found out that they had been billed at $5.50 for each tiny glass. What a rip off.
The breakfast itself was extremely mediocre. The potatoes were flavorless and dry, clearly frozen and reheated multiple times, the bacon and sausages were greasy, the fried eggs were very undercooked and the Spanish omelette was bland with no seasoning whatsoever and some store bought salsa poured over it from a jar.
Our server was not very friendly and seemed more keen on turning tables quickly. He dropped a knife and fork on me along with some food and didn't even bother to apologize. When I signed the check he picked it up before I was done and then angrily brought it back to me saying I should add a tip(which I would have had he not taken it before I was finished).
A very poor experience and pathetic food for unreasonable prices. I'm definitely not going back here again.
Right next to our hotel, this spot served a very serviceable breakfast at a great price.
Whenever we went past this place was full, and after having a great breakfast there I can see why.
It is standard New York diner fare, and well cooked rapidly – omelette with a side of bacon, pancakes and maple syrup, all excellent, fresh and not too greasy.
Even when a line it moves quickly, as the staff are very efficient and move you on through quietly but quickly.
Good for what it is: a no-frills American diner. The past few trips to New York, I have stayed within a couple of blocks of NY Luncheonette. The diner is clean. The service has been good. The food is solid. And the prices are quite reasonable by New York standards. I would not go here expecting gourmet or fine dining, but if you are in search of a quick breakfast or a quick snack in Midtown East, this joint does the trick.
