Classic Diner Fare in a Quiet Midtown East Spot
Eat from a broad menu in a small neighborhood spot with a warm atmosphere and radio in the background.
🍽️ A Small Neighborhood Staple
Townhouse Diner keeps the focus on classic American diner fare in a small Midtown East dining space. At 696 Second Avenue, the room has a clean, utilitarian character, with a hint of radio in the background. An elderly man and a woman run the place, and a large menu leaves plenty to read through before choosing a casual bite. The warm atmosphere gives this neighborhood staple its familiar feel. Settle into the quieter mood and let breakfast be the outing, without adding a whole itinerary around it.
The diner opens Monday through Friday from 7 AM to 6 PM, and Saturday and Sunday from 7 AM to half past four PM. Early risers have the same opening time throughout the week. For an afternoon meal, leave more room before closing on weekends, when service wraps up earlier than on weekdays.
