City View Diner

If you’re looking for a local place that is close to the Greene and yet is relaxing and isn’t too crowded, you might want to check out City View Diner. 

The diner is filled with tasteful New York photographs and skylines and soft music.  I’ve visited 3 times and have never had to wait for a table and the food comes out fairly quickly.
The owner is a native New Yorker and will most likely stop by your table to chat.  The owner retired from managing U.S. Air Force clubs in the U.S. and overseas so he definitely has experience around food and events.  From someone who has eaten at plenty of Air Force clubs, the food was much better than they stereotype AF Club so you don’t have to worry about him bringing that part of his experience! The waitress I’ve had two times now isn’t very outgoing but I think she’s just young and doesn’t have much experience.

The menu includes quite a variety food.  According to the owner the Reuben is his top sellers and burgers come quickly after.  I’ve tried the Reuben and the grilled fish and enjoyed both very much.  They came out nice and warm and were quite tasty.  The prices are reasonable for the size and quantity of food.

I’ve found that the restaurant is great too about working with you if you want to come with a group.  Just make sure to contact them ahead of time so they can plan accordingly.
