After a half-century serving soup and burgers in Manhattan, the Cozy Soup N Burger Diner closed this past summer. I look back on my first (and las) visit a few months earlier.

The Court Square Diner has been featured in film and television shot in New York City, but it’s also home to classic dishes like disco fries. I took a trip there with my four-year-old in late November.

The Three Decker Diner reinvented the classic Greenpoint restaurant, modernizing the menu, and serving up American nostalgia. We ate lunch and dinner there.
