"Norm’s Diner, founded by Elise Gallant and Danielle Norman, is set to open at 8029 Agnes Street in West Village. The diner, which occupies a space that formerly housed Yum Village, features a midcentury vibe with gold leaf lettering by Kelly Golden. The menu includes breakfast staples like biscuits and gravy, a lox plate, and lunch items like a crispy chicken cutlet and turkey club. Drinks include sodas, iced tea, lemonade, coffee, orange juice, malts, and shakes. Gallant and Norman emphasize zero-waste principles in their kitchen to keep food prices low and reduce environmental impact. The diner is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Thursday through Monday." - Serena Maria Daniels
