Brooklyn Diner

Editorial Review

Bait and switch in the name here, as maître d's and $20 chopped salads aren't exactly the stuff of BK lunch counters. Strong on classics, name-checks a chunk of Kings County sub-tribes. Pastrami, lasagna, top-rated burgers. Noodle kugel will have grandma questioning the purpose of her existence. Swanked-up booths and counter scene, good 57th Street people watching. Equally suitable for nearby office drones and guidebook-clutching tourons from far, far away.
