What People Are Saying About Empire Diner

The Editor

Citysearch

This late-night landmark--and one of the city's finest examples of deco-diner architecture--is a low-key, after-hours favorite with everyone from club-hoppers to drag queens to investment bankers. The kitchen cranks out a steady roster of embellished diner fare like omelets, club sandwiches, and burgers. Sun-drenched diners enjoy sidewalk tables, and at night, this just might be the only candlelit shiny diner in town.

Love it!

by Mags0221

I love the Empire Diner. Great burgers and fries, and the best rootbeer floats in NYC. Really, everything you would want in a diner, with fantastic service as well. I also love the decor, very kitchy and fun.
