Galaxy Diner

A comforting, nostalgic constant in Hell's Kitchen, this diner has kept its retro charm intact for decades. It is a favored refueling stop for theater performers catching a bite between matinees and evening shows, drawing crowds with its massive menu and gentler-than-average NYC prices. While the kitchen turns out classic burgers and chicken Parmigiana at all hours, the breakfast options are the local favorites. Expect giant plates of berry-topped pancakes, eggs Benedict with home fries, and cinnamon waffles paired with chicken wings. It is entirely walk-in friendly, though you might experience a slight wait for your food during peak rushes. And for the initiated, the signature coleslaw is considered a mandatory order.
