Capitol Diner

Behind an easy-to-miss exterior right by the subway stop, the diner opens into a clean, small interior that feels like home. The kitchen works quickly, turning out large portions of classic breakfast plates like French toast and beef sausage alongside Greek waffles, chicken kebabs, and Penne Vodka. Despite its compact footprint, the staff is known for accommodating larger tables with prompt service, making it a reliable, low-key stop for a meal after visiting the nearby Cloisters.
