You find yourself in the mid 50s, wandering around. You're hungry. You're looking for someplace that doesn't charge and arm and a leg. This isn't the place. All but across the street from the Carnegie Deli, it tends to get the overflow crowd from there and tourists. As a matter of fact, I think this place exists to bilk tourists and unsuspecting people from other parts of town, who are in the neighborhood for interviews and auditions. When the outside advertises itself as a diner, you really don't expect to pay an arm and a leg. But then you get inside. How much for a burger? $13? You want HOW MUCH for a sandwich? So I ordered the burger. Yes, it was huge. But they're that big at Jackson Hole too and about half the price. Yes, the bread was better than at Jackson Hole. But that was about it. It was a truly unspectacular burger. It was average. Very average. Avoid this place, unless you're desperate.
