I LOVE 35 Ave. Diner! It's good solid classic diner food, cooked right. Eggs your way, pancakes, waffles, and yes, great coffee.
Prices are super reasonable. Aren't you tired of overpaying for food everywhere?? You can get a very solid full breakfast for under $10 here (their club sandwich including home fries is $8.95 I think). A bit more if you go fancy pancakes with fresh berries, which is amazing and fresh, or one of the meat dishes (bacon, ham, etc.)
The staff are friendly, down-to-earth folks who will really take care of you. The kitchen is open, so it's cool to see your food being cooked by the awesome chefs. Vibe is very relaxed and welcoming, usually playing NY1 news on the TVs. It's your local neighborhood diner at its finest.
There is another diner within a few blocks (which shall go unnamed) but every time I go the food just . . . isn't cooked right. A pity because their location is so good. Anyone within the 35 Ave. / 31 Street area should definitely give 35 Ave. Diner a try.
