Empire Diner - Ode Worthy
A Chelsea staple, The Empire Diner is the exact type of diner you wish was sitting right on your neighborhood corner. Writing up old school menu classics like a Patty Melt or a Happy Waitress alongside modern favorites like Avocado Toast and a Tuscan Kale Caesar, it's impossible to lose. Unlike most diners, don't just assume you know what you're having - you are going to want to actually read the menu. You'll be glad you did, especially when you get to the Sweet Treats section. Toasted Pound Cake with lemon butter and Homemade Empire Pop Tarts, would a treat by any other diner taste as sweet?
