There are so few places left on earth that feel truly authentic. We are so consumed by how many 5 star reviews somewhere got, or if it’s been sprinkled with magic influencer dust that I think we’ve forgotten to appreciate things for exactly who and what they are. The Cosmic Diner is EVERYTHING.

We were looking for somewhere quick and easy to have lunch after a walk around Central Park and gave Cosmic Diner a try.
So glad we did!
We received friendly service, delicious food, and reasonable prices for the location.
My husband had a BLT and I had a Ceasar salad and both were served quickly and made a great lunch.
Great option if you're looking for a Diner style experience!
