I also wanted a waffle and I was able to get both and create my own place for a fair price. The waffle doesn't look like much but was perfectly fluffy. The restaurant is quite loud but nicely decorated and the service is fast. This is not a place you plan on staying for long. You eat you go. The tables are very small for the large plates they serve the food in but it is common in dinners.

Walking uptown at dinnertime, I offered my husband two options for an al fresco meal. I knew he'd…read morepick Green Kitchen. While my choice would've been the Chinese place across the street, Green Kitchen was a-okay with me. Bottled wine was 50% off, which may (or may not) be standard on Wednesdays. The cab we chose was fine at $30 .... but no way would it warrant a $60 tab. I wanted a gyro sandwich and side salad. Our waitress suggested the platter, which comes to about the same price and includes fries. Perfect! My husband was really happy with his generously-stuffed Reuben. I didn't think the cheese was adequately melted, but he disagreed. We both tacked on a cup of avgolemono. After hot & sour, Greek lemon may be my most favorite soup. Green Kitchen is a NY institution and a reliably good place to get breakfast, lunch or dinner. I like this location better than 75th Street though the menus I believe are identical. Seating, inside and out, is more comfortable here.

Cafe Luka caters to the neighborhood, and at any given time it's probably filled with people who have their loved ones in a nearby hospital, and are getting out for a marginally better meal than the cafeterias can provide. I was doing the same, and I enjoyed a classic breakfast of eggs, toast, corned beef hash, and potatoes. I like that the potatoes were well done without me having to ask. We all need a little texture in our lives. It's worth noting that: 1. Everything came out in about 3 minutes flat, as it should at a diner. 2. The wifi didn't work when I was there. 3. Diner breakfasts in Manhattan are insanely expensive now (I'm talking nearly $20 for a two egg breakfast, before tax and tip).

A few more people trickled in towards the end of our meal. Our waiter was kind and accommodating, answering our questions about the menu. We ended up going quite simple, ordering a deluxe burger and a piña colada to split because we weren't that hungry. The food came out super quickly (probably testament to how slow it was at the time). The meal started with some coleslaw and pickles (which I LOVE and was very happy about). The burger ($21) was super simple and did the job, but did not blow us away at all. We had to dress it up a bit for the picture below :) The piña colada, while good, was super sweet. We really didn't taste much alcohol and it was also ($18.45) which we found really overpriced for what it was. In any case, it's nice to have cafes like this that are local. We appreciated the simplicity of the place and it's also quite large, with lots of tables so it could be a nice place for a snack/to do some work.
