I am not sure if there is a specific dish to try here. I had a coffee & avocado toast. I love diner trains. A lil pricey, but what isnt nowadays.

Classic New York Diner Charm at Its Best
Square Diner – 33 Leonard St, New York, NY 🇺🇸
A timeless New York gem nestled in the heart of Tribeca. Whether you’re stopping in for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, Square Diner offers consistent quality, classic American favourites, and that warm, no-nonsense diner atmosphere you hope for in a long-standing venue.
The service is fast, the portions generous, and the Tuna Melt is a standout — well-balanced, hearty, and satisfying. Food comes out quickly without compromising on quality.
The atmosphere is cozy yet vibrant, and they even have a full bar and event space if you’re planning something special.
Highly recommended if you’re in Manhattan and want the real New York diner experience done right.

It was a busy Saturday so we had to sit outside but since it was mild out, that weren't a problem. It took them a while to come take our order but when the food came it was good. I asked for pancakes with scrambled eggs and bacon but got an omelette. I left it as they were busy and didn't want my food getting cold. We had to go inside to pay as no one came to give the bill but I don't know if that's the usual process. Overall, it's a nice place for breakfast, brunch or lunch but if they're busy you will feel it in wait times and maybe trying to get attention for service so be mindful if you got at a peak time or are really hungry!

We came to NYC for just a few days, and while waking around on Saturday, we stumbled upon Square Diner. With one look I knew it was the real American diner. We loved the food and the people so much, that we went back on Monday. Absolutely to try! Super clean, super nice and amazing fresh home made food. Thank you 🙏🏻💙🇺🇸
Food was really good, pricing was better than some of the other diners in the area.

First time here and I loved it! Pancakes were sooo fluffy and delicious 😋 The service was fast, everyone was super nice, and the place has that old-school diner vibe that makes you feel like you’re back in the day. Definitely coming back.
