Comfort Diner Agust 2008

I chanced upon this wonderful Art Deco diner while on my search for publishing houses. I didn't eat here because I had just finished off a falafel on pita from a street vendor. I had been sweating bullets and was thirsty as hell and I ordered an egg cream. Wonderful. I also bought one of their coffee mugs. They are the immensely thick walled kind that I haven't seen since the demise of Chock Full O Nuts and the Automat. 6 Bucks for the mug. $2.95 for the egg cream. They were also in the midst of their 12th annual milkshake celebration. Today's flavor was mango madness. Breakfast ranges from two eggs, home fries and toast ($4.95) to steak and eggs, $13.95. Also, The Lumberjack, $10.95, 2 buttermilk pancakes, 2 eggs and your choice of bacon, ham or sausage and The New Yorker, $11.95, one toasted bagel with smoked salmon, cream cheese, tomato, capers and red onion. Various sandwiches including the half pound Comfort Burger, $7.95. Large plate items, Thanksgiving Every Day, " Talk about comfort food! Roasted turkey breast, stuffing, mashed potatoes w/gravy, homemade cranberry sauce & fresh veggies. You WILL thank us." Mom's Meatloaf (on her best day), $13.95. With caramelized onion&mushroom gravy, roast garlic mashed potatoes and today's vegetable. "sorry mom, but we don't remember yours ever tasting this good." A Nice Bowl of Soup, $4.95. Grandma's Chicken Soup, $4.95. "Loaded with chicken, carrots, celery and noodles. Yum! Wild Mushroom Potato Pancakes, $5.95. With our homemade chunky applesauce and sour cream.
