Diner

“one of the first spots that got me excited about food. daily menu changes, written out on butcher paper at every table, like a performance. i grew up going here with my dad, who worked at a factory in greenpoint. diner put williamsburg on the map.”

“Oldie but goodie (understatement!)”

“Founded on New Year’s Eve, 1998, Diner is older than I am — a Brooklyn establishment at the forefront of farm-to-table cuisine in New York City. It’s a Williamsburg classic in a refurbished dining car, and the food is reliably satisfying, whether you’re trying something new to the menu or sticking with the classic burger with white cheddar and pickled red onions.”
