"I love Gee Whiz because it is everything I think a worthwhile NYC diner should be. The food isn’t great, but the menu is huge, laminated, and reassuring. What comes out of the kitchen comes fast, and it’s nothing if not consistent. Since I always order the same thing (spinach and feta omelet with fries instead of home fries, side of rye bread), this arrangement works out fine. The service is friendly-gruff, the booths are red pleather, and the orders are taken on standard paper waiter pads before being ripped off and placed in the dew that has collected beneath your plastic cup of ice water. Pay at the counter; leave a tip on the table. Gee Whiz even has stunning seasonal decorations and a refrigerated case of rotating pies. In other words, it’s perfect." - ByThe Bon Appétit Staff
