Out of curiosity, what is the definition of a NY-Style diner?
NY Diner. (Noun) . An eating establishment which caters to every meal of the day. Breakfast is served all hours. Large displays of desserts will be available. Generally pretty ladies waitressing. Occasionally jukeboxes on each table. Most importantly, owned by those of Greek descent.
Seriously, If its operated properly here, it will be hugely succesful

Then the very popular and longtime fixture Landmark Diner on Central Ave. qualifies.
Oh joy. I shall have to hold myself to contain my utter excitement and giddiness.

Or, you can just, I don't know... not eat there.
I mean, if you hate all things northern so much that you can't even get through a thread about a NJ/NY style diner coming to the area without acting like children, just don't go.
Your loss. If it's anything like a real diner, it will always be open, and there will be so many choices on the menu you won't even know where to begin.

Don't know if there is a definition per se, but I'm thinking of the kind of diner you find every two or three blocks in Manhattan. They are usually 24 hrs. and deliver within a ten-block range. The prices are very reasonable compared to the rest of the Manhattan restaurant world. It is not unusual for neighborhood residents to eat at one of these diners at least once a day and some take most of their meals there (Manhattan apartment kitchens are like closets and the ovens are usually used for take-out menu storage). You can go in to grab a coffee and a roll to go (or bacon, egg and cheese on a roll) or sit down and have a full meal, anything from pancakes, challah french toast or oatmeal cooked in milk to goulash, veal picatta, gyros or a buffalo burger. You can sit at a table, booth, or at the counter. You can order an egg cream. They know what you mean when you ask for a schmear with your bagel. Behind the counter is a big case full of pies, cakes, donuts, bagels and sometimes bialys. If you are a regular the waiter or waitress brings your usual beverage to the table when they bring your menu. If you take your coffee to go it comes in these blue and white cardboard cups with classical Greek figures and a Greek key design. Don't know where those cups come from, but all the diners have them.
