Went to the air line diner by lga with the fam, just trying to recapture some of that goodfellas magic. Had a blt. Famous neon sign offers beer and parking, will take them up on that next time

I am a vegetarian but I love BLTS and make veggie ones every couple months. Good choice.

The most goodfellas diner is the one where that zoom dolly shot was filmed and it’s in maspeth and I’d drive by it every weekend in my way from woodside to bushwick. They finally renamed it “goodfellas diner”. Then it burned down. It’s still there but boarded up.
― dan selzer, Saturday, 1 June 2024 21:47 (three months ago) link
Oh, and cash only. There’s an ATM by the restrooms

1) I heard that about LGA! I'm sure I'll be there again at some point
2) God, diners are just the best. I miss them a lot. What a fantastically weird phenomenon they are and I'm talking about the NY tri-state area mostly greek owned variety. There's nothing like it.

And it's hard to explain. There are a lot of old train car diners in NE which are also great and when I lived in Boston I made a pint to seek them out but still - totally different.

I was trying to explain the difference to my wife and said something like diners are stand alone facilities and coffee shops are in buildings

I buy that.
There are some sorta diners near me. There's a place called Pete's Grill that I've never been too despite living nearby. Alpha Donuts was a famous greasy spoon doughnut place though they stopped making their own donuts years before they moved. They had the curved counter seating with stools and everything. I regret to my very core not buying it and opening my own diner/donut shop.
Georgia Peach is a famous diner on Queens Blvd that I went to once and wasn't so impressed. Across the street was another called Pop Diner or Nevada Diner that Georgia moved into.
I'm from NJ so most NYC diners don't quite cut it.
The LGA adjacent Airline Diner, which is actually Jackson Hole now, is fun. Took my daughter on her 6th birthday for her first diner experience and pancakes for dinner and jukeboxes on every table and we put on Rockaway Beach by the Ramones. Food was ok.
There's some diners in Astoria that are pretty famous. Bel Aire and Neptune.
Kellogs Diner in williamsburg was the absolute worst, can't believe it lasted as long as it did. Drove by last night and it's been shuttered for a while.
I do have fond memories of places like Bendix Diner. There's a whole ILX thread for places like that:Redd's Roster of Restaurants of the Old Weird New York
I used to love getting omelettes at diners after DJ gigs. When Odessa was 24 hours. Back in brooklyn there were 2 24 hour diners. One on the corner of Smith and Atlantic that was great and really expensive, and one on the corner of 3rd ave and atlantic which was terrible.
There's a chain (of 2) diners called Grand Canyon, one in Park Slope I think and one in Brooklyn Heights. used to love their burgers.
― dan selzer, Saturday, 1 June 2024 22:17 (three months ago) link
I had 4am french fries at Kellogg's so many times. Their burger was a microwaved puck of meat-flavored roughage. NJ diners are where it's at.

I would be so down for an ILX NYC diner meet. Although we would never agree on a venue.

That place has been The Jackson Hole... what, at least 30 years? i'm surprised it was called something else. There was a Jackson Hole on the upper west side too. I think 80-something and Columbus. Omnivore friends swore by it but the one time i ate there the grilled cheese was horrifying, with half frozen broccoli or something.
"diners are stand alone facilities and coffee shops are in buildings"
None of the "diners" in my area seem to be aware of this
"I'm from NJ"

The MTA has already invested tens of millions of dollars installing cameras, sensors, license plate readers and other equipment on city roadways in anticipation of the plan's launch. The fee was expected to provide an annual cash infusion of around $1 billion for subway and bus systems that carry some 4 million riders daily.
