The Art Deco booths may seem a generation older than the locals who sit in them, but they’re actually much younger. Like the shiny neon panels that wrap around the corner of Broadway and 100th Street, they only first appeared when the eatery opened 1996, replacing an old lumberyard.

The menu is not only with classic diner fare like overstuffed club sandwiches and steak-cut fries, but with more sophisticated offerings like a Norwegian salmon sandwich and an oriental ahi tuna salad.
