At the Sage Diner- before it was the Sage- our very old waitress brought our order with the dirtiest nails ever. If we weren't starving, I would left. | ||

Eww. This is all too gross. Can we change the subject back to a GOOD diner opening up there? I have flashbacks about our last waitress at the place, and it was not a sanitary sight.  | ||

Moondance Diner outside of the Holland Tunnel. Great place. | ||

There is one and only one standard by which to judge a diner -- the coffee. Hot, strong, in white ceramic cups with the little handles. And it never goes lower than half-full before a waitress asks you if you want a refill. If they don't have that, there is no good reason to visit any diner. | ||

Yeah but Summit Diner only has milk for coffee ... no cream. Best corned beef hash around though. | ||

A friend keeps raving to me about the Ritz diner and how they have such great fish dishes. Is it really all that? (I did see that Freeman's supplies the fish, but it's all what you do with it from there.) | ||

Ritz Diner is really good. My husband had the fish there recently and loved it. | ||

Funny, The sign for the Parkwood was designed, printed and installed by Action Graphics on Sprinfield Avenue. I watched them install it last week. Some kid from High School could have done better. | ||

The Ritz is my default when in search of good diner food, but if you're looking for fish, go across the street to Eppe's Essen and order the Super Munch. Best fish breakfast ever!! | ||

mwsilva, some kid from nursery school could have done it better. It's ugly and cheap-looking. But maybe the food will be decent (and clean). | ||

Hank- I mourn the whole Ideal/Yorktown neighborhood! Ideal, and The Bavarian Inn- my favorite restaurant. Man, that leberknoedle (liverdumplings) and that weiss beer. What a spot. I was there the last night it was open, with the new owners promising "things won't change a bit". 4 weeks later, voila, Fleming's "Irish" pub. complete boring makeover (the bastards). Now The Heidelberg is the only one standing (maybe Richter's Garden?)- and standing up very well. Sorry about the drift. | ||

I think there are still a few Hungarian restaurants of the old type on UES. But I remember as a kid my Irish parents took me to Hans Jaeger's, Cafe Hindenburg, the Heidelburg, and a few others--- all gone. But I think Czarda's is still around, along with a few other Hungarian places, and what somebody mentioned as a few Ukrainian places, scattered in the village. |
