Diner 24
7.7
A modern 24-hour diner built around a big, smash-burger mission—fast gratification, loud comfort, and always-open utility. Treat it like a single-lane order: one smash burger build, fries if you’re hungry, and don’t let the massive menu distract you.
Must-Try Dishes:
12oz Double Smash Cheeseburger, 12oz Double Smash Bacon Cheeseburger, Single Smash Burger
Scores:
Value: 7.4
Service: 7.2
Consistency: 7.8
Food Quality: 7.9
Atmosphere: 7
Cultural Relevance: 7.6
What makes it special: A true 24-hour smash-burger option in the neighborhood.
Who should go: Late-night diners and burger-first comfort seekers
When to visit: After 10pm or off-peak daytime for speed
What to order: Double smash cheeseburger, bacon version, fries
Insider tip: Commit to one burger build—skip add-ons and stay clean.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; limited and competitive, especially late evening. Rideshare or walking is the easiest move.
Dress code: Very casual — anything goes. Hoodies, jeans, and late-night comfort fits are standard.
Noise level: Loud — energetic diner buzz makes deep conversation secondary.
Weekend wait: 20–40 min late night; faster turnover after midnight
Weekday lunch: Minimal to no wait off-peak
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — vegetarian burgers and diner sides available, but not the core strength.
Vegan options: Limited — possible with substitutions, but not purpose-built.
Gluten-free options: Limited — some items can be modified, but cross-contact is likely.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if the vibe is casual and late-night. This is more fun and chaotic than romantic.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — walk-ins are the norm. Peak late-night hours may mean a short wait, but turnover is quick.
Is it kid-friendly? Earlier in the day, yes. Late-night hours skew adult, loud, and bar-adjacent.
Best For
Better for: Late-night smash burgers, fast gratification, and always-open reliability.
Skip if: You want a quiet meal, a focused menu beyond burgers, or a polished sit-down experience.

A true 24/7 Manhattan diner built for after-hours cravings—breakfast all day, burgers that hold up at midnight, and desserts that feel tailor-made for 2 a.m. The room is bright and efficient rather than cozy, but the consistency and always-open reliability are the point.
Must-Try Dishes:
Smash burger, 24-hour breakfast platter, Milkshake

Smash burger, All-day breakfast, Milkshake
Scores:
Value: 8.6

Noise level: Moderate—steady diner hum, but you can still hold a conversation without raising your voice.
Weekend wait: 10–20 min late night; longer right after bars close.

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you’re keeping it very casual—great for low-pressure conversation, not for a romantic or intimate vibe.

Is it kid-friendly? Yes earlier in the day; late night skews adult and post-bar, so better for teens than young kids after midnight.
Best For
Better for: Late-night speed, consistency, and solo-friendly dining when you just want a reliable burger without ceremony.
Skip if: You’re looking for a destination burger, craft atmosphere, or a sit-and-stay dining experience.
