Viand Cafe

"“There’s a couple of them—the Viand I go to is near The Beacon, 75th and Broadway. I like diners a lot, at every opportunity. There’s something very New York, kind of communal. It's everybody's restaurant, you know? They're getting expensive but they're not as expensive as most restaurants. I like to sit at the counter at Viand and have an egg salad sandwich on a weekday afternoon. It just feels like the New York I've always loved.”" - sonal shah

"Coffee: $3.75 The—very small—original Viand on the Upper East Side has its charms, but you can have a more leisurely hang at this bigger location on Broadway and 75th. The menu is huge, ranging from omelets to meatloaf, but the most important thing to know is that they roast their turkeys in-house, so this is one diner where you actually want to order the full turkey dinner, or an excellent turkey club. We like this place during the day: if it’s nice out, grab a sidewalk table, where regulars hide behind newspapers with glasses of white wine.

"“Breakfast for dinner!” isn’t a phrase reserved for enticing a 7-year-old to eat. It’s also a charming suggestion for date night at home. If you don’t feel like cooking bacon or French toast in your kitchen, order from Viand on the UWS. They serve breakfast until 9:30pm every day, and they use challah from Orwashers bakery for their French toast." - hannah albertine

"The key thing to keep in mind about this Upper West Side diner is that they roast their turkeys in-house. So while the menu is huge, ranging from omelettes to meatloaf, don’t lose sight of the fantastic turkey club. Pick it up any day between 7am-11pm." - hannah albertine

"Viand Cafe’s is the Upper West Side’s finest diner, and we’d love for you to email us if you disagree. The giant menu here ranges from omelettes to meatloaf, but the most important thing to know is that they roast their turkeys in-house. Have a moment with your turkey sandwich in their outdoor area." - Hannah Albertine
