Review & FAQ:

Located in New York’s West Chelsea in the iconic art deco building renovated in 1976, Empire Diner has been renovated and returned to its former glory. From the outside it is still a vintage diner, but on the inside it looks like a luxury train dining car, elegant and simple with a few booths and a small, cozy dining room in the back. Chef John Delucie offers his own interpretation of classic American comfort food made from high quality ingredients. Empire Diner is a perfect place to lure kids into dining out – the quirky look will perk their interest, as will the fabulous mac and cheese and sourdough pretzel fried chicken. They serve freshly pressed juice.
