"In the middle of FiDi, this stand-alone diner opened in the 1960s and is one of the last of its kind. If you’re looking for a quintessential New York experience with classic diner food, this is it. They didn’t allow pictures inside so you’ll have to stop in, have a patty melt, and see for yourself!" - Paperless Post
"Pearl has stood out since the 1960s in the high-rise-ridden Financial District, serving up big breakfast plates in a tiny, quintessential diner space. During the week it opens at 8 a.m., and nearby office workers start filing in soon after for a morning meal. The menu offers more than 40 burgers, but stick to a classic cheeseburger or bacon burger, with fries. Don’t expect frills." - Eater Staff
"This diner has famously avoided urban renewal and now stands dwarfed by skyscrapers in its Wall Street neighborhood. The welcome Greek pneumatos of the place results in dishes like shrimp Aegean, souvlaki platters, and pork gyro pitas, but all the standards are ably represented, with a sideline in stuffed baked potatoes." - Melissa McCart
"Breakfast classics available for delivery or takeout starting at 7:45am daily - call or order online." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren
"Eating in a converted dining car underneath the Williamsburg Bridge may sound a bit gimmicky, but Diner is a classic Williamsburg spot that’s still one of our favorite date places around. The menu changes daily, but whatever the server writes down on your tablecloth/butcher paper will probably be great. They own a butcher shop a couple doors down, so make sure to get at least one of the protein entrees or the burger, which comes with some excellent fries." - matt tervooren
