"Pinecrest is a longstanding diner just a block or so away from Union Square. It opened in 1969 and, against popular belief, is packed Wednesday through Sunday all through the night. The menu stars the usual suspects including burgers, sandwiches, salads, deep-fried dippables (as in mozzarella sticks, onion rings, and fries), and much, much more." - Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri
