Where to have breakfast at any time of the day?
–
The very first would date back to the early 1870s, but they really became popular in the 1930s and 1940s: diners, which serve typical American dishes 24 hours a day, quick and easy to eat, such as burgers, club sandwiches and fries galore. In New York, dining is still popular, and you can find it on many street corners; here is our gourmet selection.

#1 Pearl Diner
Open for more than 50 years, Pearl Diner is located in Financial District, and it is not uncommon to meet businessmen in ties there quickly swallowing a runny omelet (cheese supplement). A gourmet stop without being too fat or not enough. The perfect balance.

# 2 La Bonbonnière
This authentic dinner de West Village has a family atmosphere that is reflected in the smile of the waiters. Since the 1970s, at La Bonbonnière, pancakes rage among the customers, who taste them plain, with banana (topped with bacon), blueberries, chocolate chips… and always with a dash of sugar syrup – for energy. Please note, the dinner only accepts cash.

#3 Tom’s Restaurant
A bit special, Tom’s Restaurant is a diner, but it has been in the hands of a Greek family since the 1940s. It is the meeting place for columbia university students, who come to taste omelets at all hours of the day and sip “the best milkshake in New York ” (according to them).

#4 Lexington Candy Shop
Established since 1925, Lexington Candy Shop recalls that time when soda fountains and “luncheonettes” (a kind of brasseries serving breakfast) were part of the landscape of each neighborhood. A few steps from MET, this New York diner is a staple of the neighborhood, which continues to serve typical luncheonette dishes, with pancakes, muffins, sandwiches, burgers, chicken thighs …

#5 Joe Junior
A large Formica counter, a row of bar stools and a few tables; Joe Junior really has it all diner, and serves a burger unpretentious ($ 5.5) which is nevertheless a great tasting moment. Ask that your steak (ultra fresh and not frozen!) Is not cooked “a la pancha” because otherwise all the juice escapes and it becomes a little dry.

#6 Odessa Restaurant
Odessa Restaurant serves anything that might be on your breakfast table : cereals and milk, waffles, 2 small flat eggs, with some specialties from Eastern Europe such as blintzes, of pirogies or even borscht. The best part is that you don’t have to cook, clear or do the dishes.

#7 B&H Dairy
Do not trust this diner who calls himself “vegetarian”; there is enough to put a piece of meat in your mouth if you are in need of animal protein. So you have to come to B&H Dairy with cash (no other means of payment), few (it’s very small) and a big appetite (the plates are well served and you will surely want to nibble a bit of everything ).

# 8 Bel Aire Diner
Established in Astoria for more than 50 years, Bel Aire Diner has kept a certain charm, always appealing to families who settle on the booths comfortable for enjoying simple, but good (and not too greasy) cuisine. Families delighted that the dinner also offers a online order, where they then just have to come and get their meals!
31-91 21st St.
Astoria, NEW 11106

#9 Square Diner
An intimate atmosphere, a bar with red stools, paneled walls, in a diner that looks like a train car; Square Diner is no exception and offers an experience of unique dinner. Come with coins in your pockets (or withdraw from the distributor outside but don’t be surprised at the taxes!).
33 Leonard St
New York, NEW 10013

#10 Eisenberg
No link with the professor-dealer, because this diner has been exploding the cholesterol level of New Yorkers since 1929. You can nibble a breakfast at any time of the day, and their tuna sandwich, their milkshake and their carrot cake have already made more than one happy. Why not you ?
