A low-key, old-school diner just off Union Square that turns out dependable, no-fuss fries with a crunchy exterior and fluffy center. It’s a straightforward fry experience that feels like New York in the ’70s—in the best way. Perfect for a quick bite or a late-night craving without the scene.
Must-Try Dishes:
Classic French Fries, Village Burger with fried onion, Matzo Ball Soup
What Makes it Special: Classic diner fries at a rare Broadway old-timer.

Operating from a compact kiosk in The Bowery Market, Sunday C&C turns plant-based ingredients into indulgent, knife-and-fork sandwiches and plates. The vegan fried “chick’n” and lion’s mane preparations are as messy and satisfying as their meat-based counterparts.
Must-Try Dishes:
Fried Chick'n Sandwich, Elena Ruz, Lion’s Mane
What Makes it Special: Tiny vegan counter turning out cheffy, over-the-top sandwiches from a kiosk.

Must-Try Dishes:
Multigrain bagel with scallion cream cheese, Everything bagel with lox and cream cheese, Egg and cheese breakfast bagel
What Makes it Special: Neighborhood bagel shop with a hands-on owner and classic appetizing roots.
