I love diners...NY diners are falling to the waste side each year. Sadly not many of the old times are left. But fortunately Waterview is still around and busier than ever. I love getting a diner gyro or a sloppy cheeseburger and fries. Maybe grab a…More »

Hands down one of the best diners in New York...not just Brooklyn. The diner has been around for as long as I can remember. It has all the usual suspects of a diner menu and has great service in a clean (As clean as a diner can be) environment.…More »

Typical diner food.

Nothing flashy or amazing about their food. It is diner food...burgers,shakes,fries etc.

Good location if you want some grub before a show at the Hammerstein or the Garden.

It is a New York diner. Nothing more, nothing less. Do not come here for some fancy shmancy dining experience. Come here for a beef gyro or a sloppy cheeseburger and fries. Sometimes it is ok to just dine out in a place like this, when you are in NY.…More »

Some of my favorite dining destinations in the city.

Pizza places that I enjoy, and so should you. (14)

They say that pizza is like sex...I disagree...pizza is cheaper to obtain. On to my list:

My Neighborhood (7)

My local dry cleaner, watering hole, deli, cafe, etc.

Sweet treats around NY (9)

Everyone likes a sweet treat, but if your idea of dessert is dunkin donuts or krispie kreme, then read this list, take notes and then waddle over to one of them. These places make some of the most amazing pastries in the NY area.

It's not easy looking this good!

Best Ballrooms (4)

I don't think Yelp has a best of ballrooms list...so here ya go:

Oh Yelp Canada! (32)

This is a list of places to see,stay at and eat in, when you visit Toronto and Montreal!

4 Bagels you need to taste (4)

I love a boiled and baked treat just like the next guy. But New York definitely owns when it comes to making a mean bagel. I have had bagels in all 5 boroughs and Long Island. But these four places are still my favorites. One of them even delivers overnight to anywhere in the U.S., nice!

Don't be afraid to leave the Island of Manhattan. Check out Brooklyn, Broad Channel and The Rockaways for some goodness with sesame, poppy or everything on it.
