On the Grid : Capitol Restaurant

"In life, we need certain things that we can depend on. A down-home place. A greasy spoon. An agreeable spot to sit for hours with nothing more than a cup of coffee. We need to feel comfortable and unadorned. Speak to me of diners, and it isn't just the eggs, potatoes, and toast. Speak to me of diners, and you're speaking to me about a friend that I trust and feel completely comfortable with. A friend that I grew up with. A friend that I come to hungry and in need of a chat. It is a rare love that every neighborhood and person needs. In Inwood, that place is Capitol Restaurant." - Jeanne Henry
