Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; metered spots are easier late at night but can still be competitive in Tribeca.
Dress code: Very casual—jeans, hoodies, and sneakers are all normal.
Noise level: Moderate to loud late at night; fine for solo eating or groups, not ideal for intimate conversation.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes late night; faster turnover after midnight.
Weekday lunch: Little to no wait most days.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—salads, omelets, pastas, and simple meat-free sandwiches.
Vegan options: Limited—some salads and vegetable sides, but not a dedicated focus.
Gluten-free options: Limited—salads and egg-based dishes work, but no clear gluten-free menu.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal for a traditional first date—this is more about convenience than atmosphere. Better as a casual, no-pressure late-night stop.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—walk-ins are the norm, especially late at night when tables turn quickly.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes—classic diner menu items work well for kids, though late-night hours skew more adult.
Best For
Better for: Late-night reliability, speed, and menu variety when most kitchens are closed.
Skip if: You want ambiance, a curated menu, or a polished dining experience—this is about function, not finesse.
