Applejack Diner

Known locally as the "Diner to the Stars," this family-owned spot overlooks Hell’s Kitchen and Columbus Circle from its Broadway perch. Inside, the unhurried atmosphere is paired with quick, attentive service that avoids rushing guests out the door. The kitchen serves up generous portions—including dinner-plate-sized pancake stacks—though visitor experiences with the food can vary. When the interior fills up, dining spills onto a covered outdoor sidewalk cafe.
