My friend and I initially planned on going to a big dinner before seeing a Broadway show, and we…read moredecided to pick something closer to the theatre (portions here are large, but they're smaller than the set menu place we were eyeing.) Stepping inside felt like taking a time machine. The interior is very retro. I love the bar and the comfy booths and the wood. I ordered a spinach and feta omelette and she ordered the Breakfast Quesadilla. We split a large, lush slice of Strawberry Cheesecake. Portions were hefty and yum. Service was attentive. It was pretty busy even at 5pm on a Wednesday!

I had the Open Face Turkey sandwich. The turkey itself was…read morevery good but unfortunately it was smothered in a rich brown gravy that over shadowed the more delicate turkey flavor.

I was looking for breakfast place not far from our hotel in Manhattan. I saw in Yelp there was the…read moreCascade Cafe at the corner of the block we were staying in. So the next morning we walked down to the deli at the corner of West 54th and 8th Avenue. Walked right up to the counter and saw examples of what we wanted (like the plastic models of food we see in Japan). We ordered two small Mochas which were freshly steamed and a few minutes later we were enjoying our breakfast. It's a small space but ample for a quick meal - and the food was very good. I had French Toast with bacon - the toast was good and thick, battered just right and sprinkled with powdered sugar - the bacon was not skimpy but appropriately thick and more of a center cut with a good amount of meat (rather than fat and gristle). My wife had two eggs over easy served on avocado toast with lettuce and tomato. A hearty meal to start a day of sightseeing. We came back another day later in the week and shared a croissant breakfast sandwich - the croissant was very fresh and the combo was tasty.

Eataly is expanding so much, but thankfully the quality didn't suffer at this smaller outpost in…read moremidtown. My iced cappuccino was quite good, Eataly consistently serves up delicious espresso. At this location they also have gelato right next to the front counter; some of the usual food (panini, sandwiches), and additional seating in the back. It's a clean space with lots of lighting, but given the location, it's not easy to find a seat, even with the additional area in the back. But at least there's a (locked) restroom for customers!

Returned to Eataly for dessert and coffee and, as always, the cafe was full of buzzing patrons…read more Service is always quick, cordial, and unrushed. We enjoyed the following: Bombolone Al Pistachio. This pastry had a sweet/creamy pistachio center and the size was acceptable. The other selection was the Quadratino Al Cioccolato. Even though it was on the small size, it had a rich chocolate top layer, a hazelnut layer, and a crunchy bottom layer. What impressed me with this visit was the coffee. We had small Mocha Lattes and they were VERY GOOD. I enjoyed the perfect blend of creamy, mocha, and that world renowned Lavazza coffee. I also appreciated the ceramic mug and nice presentation.

We can in after 9:40PM and the person advised us they close at 11:00PM, which is more than enough time. We ordered omelets (spinach, tomato, and mushrooms) with hash brown and toast. Quick and easy.

Next time you need a simple meal, check them out!

Found this little gem of a diner looking for a place to grab lunch right of Grand Central!…read more Diners are always great so we figured we would give it a try! Waiters were wonderful! All of them. Always checking in , filling up coffee cups , restaurant was clean and not overly busy . We didn't need to wait when we arrived. My friend and both ordered an omelette . She built hers and I just added an item to my omelette. I know it's New York but when it's 4.50 extra just to add ham to your omelette!! I think that's a bit too much!! My omelette already came with mushroom and cheese. Meanwhile my friend was charged 1.50 for each item . Makes no sense to me. Even after asking about it! The potatoes were dry, wasn't a fan but I enjoyed my omelette and that's all I needed at the time! I did see other dishes go by that looked great! It's a place to check out if you want Diner food!

I had all intention on trying it but once I got inside and saw their full matcha menu I ended up ordering the blueberry matcha lol. Happy I did because it did not disappoint. It was super tasty, balanced and not too sweet. I opted for regular milk but next time I'll swap to coconut milk for a little flair. My large drink was ~$11 which is pretty standard for Manhattan and it ended up being not only a perfect treat on a hot day but actually quite filling. The ambiance was set up for social interaction and group meet ups as well as solo dates. And the staff was kind and got orders out pretty quickly, even bringing a few food items directly to patrons at their tables.

I ordered a rare burger with cheddar, lettuce and tomato for $14.00, it came with fries. First of all, their fries are fantastic. They came piping hot and stayed hot. The 1/2 pound burger was grilled between rare and medium-rare. It was perfect and flavorful. Even better was the staff, from the owner to the servers. I love a good diner. My favorite diner dish is a Hot Open Turkey Sandwich. Unfortunately The Comfort Diner doesn't have that on the menu. The best in the city is the Waverly Diner in the West Village and the Orion Diner on 23rd & Second.

The Comfort Diner was truly comfortable!…read more My siblings and I stumbled upon this gem after finishing a transaction nearby. Before heading back to Grand Central, we decided we were in the mood for brunch. As we looked up, The Comfort Diner was practically glistening and beckoning us inside! We walked into a surprisingly packed diner that gave off the best '90s nostalgic vibe. Right away, we were offered two seating options and chose a cozy spot further back in the restaurant. Our server was friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful throughout our visit. My sister and I shared The Comfort Breakfast, which came with eggs, grits, biscuits, and sausage gravy. It was AMAZING. I'm usually not a fan of gravy on my food, but this platter was hearty, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Special shoutout to the sweet, fresh biscuits -- chef's kiss! My brother ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes and The LEO -- a large platter loaded with lox, eggs, onions, home fries, and toast. Our server gave us a heads-up that the pancakes have a different consistency than traditional pancakes, and wow... they were some of the tastiest pancakes I've ever had. Sooo delicious! My other brother had the steak and eggs -- a hearty plate with zero complaints. He said it was genuinely delicious. Solomon, who we believe is the owner, even came over to greet us. Such a sweet man. I truly pray his business continues to thrive for many years to come! All in all, please try The Comfort Diner -- you won't be disappointed!
