Great alternative for dinner or lunch or breakfast... always open, a thousand offers... expensive average but the portions are large and the staff is available.. for soft drinks and water there is free refill.... near the 32 central street convenient recommended

We were "graceful" to try a restaurant of this style, so we found this one on our visit to the Vessel. Great treatment, very spacious room and clean bathrooms(need to descend stairs) Highly recommended.

Came across the Skylight Diner two NYC trips back. And in the 7 years since, we've made it a point to eat here whenever we can. The food is always tasty. The service always good. We've been there late night, early morning, and dinnertime. Dependable authentic NYC diner that is open when other joints are not.

I found this place near our hotel (less than a 10-minute walk), and every step was worth it! I ordered Greek yogurt with granola and honey. My friend ordered oatmeal with sliced bananas and toast. I think I've been buying store-bought yogurt for too long. The Greek yogurt was thick with a creamy texture. The added granola and honey was like icing on the cake. I don't think I'll ever eat yogurt from a chain grocer again! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this restaurant. There's a wide variety of foods on the menu, and our waitress, Vicki, was a gem. My friend enjoyed the oatmeal—it was much better than another restaurant we tried the day before. Loved the "old" feel and smiles from the staff. They use terms of endearment instead of your name. Clearly, this place is a neighborhood favorite. I will be back!

Just visited Skylight dinner as part of a school trip. On past trips we have eaten in big themed chain restaurants that have been overwhelmingly disappointing. Skylight dinner was so much better. The food looked really fresh and the whole group enjoyed the meal.

Ordered Via Grubhub. I’m not sure if they’ve changed the kitchen staff, but the quality has definitely become hit or miss lately. I asked for crispy fries and got soggy, pale ones instead. The salad dressing container was only half full — even though I requested extra, since this has been happening more often. For $20, I expect a well-prepared salad, but it seems like the staff either isn’t paying attention to special requests or simply doesn’t care. This used to be my favorite neighborhood diner, but unfortunately, not anymore. I live only a few blocks away and always tip $5 plus the Grubhub service fee, yet lately it feels like they don’t care about getting orders right, even for loyal regulars.

Came here for breakfast on a Saturday. Janet's customer service is top notch! The food is slightly overpriced but the service makes up for it!
I love the Starlight Diner, located at 402 W 34th St, New York, NY 10001, it is a wonderful old school diner. One of my absolute favorite items on the menu is the grilled Blueberry Muffin. Toasted up on the grill with a ton of butter, it is amazing!!!

This is the first stop I make in the morning as soon as I get off the train every time I come to NYC! The Skylight Diner knocks it out of the park every time. From amazing food, to the friendly hospitality, and the retro 50s vibe, its always a pleasure.
The staff goes above and beyond to keep the diner very clean, approachable, and nostalgic.
