A more classic American diner known mostly for its exterior, it stood in for Jerry’s regular spot, Monk’s Cafe, in Seinfeld. It’s also said to have been the inspiration for the song “Tom’s Diner” by Suzanne Vega. (If you don’t know the song, Google it, chances are you actually do.)
But even without its pop culture fame, the restaurant is definitely worth a visit.
It’s a charming family restaurant that has been proudly serving guests since the 1940s. If you’ve ever wanted to go out for a “typical” American meal, this is the place for you!
