Really liked this old fashioned “candy store” on Lexington Ave. It was more of a coffee shop diner than a candy store but it was charming nonetheless. Ordered a jumbo butter burger, chocolate chip pancakes and an orange creamsicle.

I really love this little spot ever since I saw it featured on CBS Sunday Morning. I try to visit every time I go to New York. They nice selection on their menu, their milkshakes and floats are great - their prices are high but in the end it’s worth it because the place is so unique and historical.

Went for dinner and got a bacon swiss burger. The portions were just about right - I didn't feel stuffed or hungry afterward. The burger was very good. Service was good but not great.
I just felt like the prices were high for what you got. For example, my wife and I went to Outback last night, had a good meal, and took food home for less than our meal here.

This is the best diner i ever have visited. Beautiful and classic diner with very good food and very nice staff. I LOVED the food and will come back on my next visit. LOVED it:))))

Having walked by here, literally, for decades and always wanting to try, I finally did - as a "solo diner," not unusual in NYC. Was ignored when I went in - finally seated - took forever to have someone take my order (granted it was lunchtime but there were open tables and counter seats and they walked by me about 20 times). Ordered with a "classic experience" in mind- grilled cheese and bacon, fries and a chocolate malted. The malted ($9-plus!!!) was to be the treat - but was a watery mess. The fries were elementary-school cafe "quality" - underdone - (first one still semi-frozen) and soggy. And then finally received the sandwich, which was pretty good. No one ever checked on me or how the food was. The waiter had to ask the woman who seemed to be cooking (at least toasting all the bread) to write and bring my check. Great interior but nothing that justified a $27+ bill for a mediocre lunch. Would have been best to leave it on my "one day" list.
