NYC: JOHNY'S DINER


SOMETIMES IT TAKES A SHITTY, RAINY DAY IN NYC TO DISCOVER SOME GREAT THINGS, LIKE JOHNY'S ON WEST 25TH STREET. WET, HOT AND HUNGRY, I DUCKED INTO JOHNY'S FOR EGGS AND COFFEE (AT 11:30 AM AND JOHNY SERVES ALL-DAY BREAKFAST).  IT IS IN A WORD : PERFECTION. SUPER FAST, CLEAN AND DELICIOUS, JOHNY'S IS A MULTI-GENERATIONAL ESTABLISHMENT WITH THE KIND OF FAMILIARITY I LOVE. BESIDES BREAKFAST ORDERS, THEY WERE DOING MOUNDS OF TO-GO CHEESEBURGERS. WILL TRY THAT NEXT.....  I HAVE PASSED THIS PLACE LITERALLY DOZENS OF TIMES AND I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVE NEVER WALKED IN BEFORE TODAY. THIS WILL BE A REGULAR JOINT FOR ME.
THANK YOU SHITTY, RAINY DAY.

One of the best places to eat in the city. His pop's always cracked me up.

One of my favorite diners! Can't believe you discovered this! They do a burger with a buttered bun, which is delish. pg

Love it. I haven't been in a few years, but I have fond memories of both Johny and his dad, Larry, not to mention the food... thumbs up!
