5 NYC Restaurants to Try This Weekend - Eater NY
"Working class eateries known as luncheonettes were a fixture of industrial areas in Manhattan during much of the 20th century, but then started fizzling as factories and warehouses closed and were torn down or turned into luxury loft residences. One of the few remaining is Johny’s Luncheonette. Though founded in the 1990s, it has a much older feel, with a long formica counter flanked by twirling stools, and a menu that comprises old favorites like pancakes, burgers, omelets, and heroes, many featuring unexpected combinations of ingredients with grin-inducing themes. Open on Saturday and Sunday at 8:30 a.m. until midafternoon, it constitutes a great place for a non-alcoholic brunch." - Eater Staff
