Late Night Diner in Midtown East With a Revived Greek Menu
Order avgolemono, gyros or banana Nutella pancakes at a diner in Midtown East open around the clock most days.
🥣 Avgolemono, Gyros and Pancakes
Tramway Diner is a diner in Midtown East with two menus sharing one kitchen. At 1079 1st Ave, the griddle turns out thick burgers and banana Nutella pancakes, while the cooks keep a Spartan Greek menu adopted from George, a neighborhood restaurant that has closed.
That Greek side brings avgolemono soup and seasoned pork gyros to the table, next to the classic American comfort food that fills most diner menus. Pair a bowl of avgolemono with a stack of pancakes, or keep it savory with gyros and a burger.
Quiet back booths suit a slow, unhurried meal, and a friendly chef chats with guests. The doors stay open around the clock Wednesday through Sunday. Monday runs from midnight to 11 PM, and Tuesday from 6 AM to midnight, which makes this First Avenue diner a late night option most of the week.
