Old John's Luncheonette

"The quintessential UWS restaurant Old John’s Luncheonette reopened in the same 67th Street location, but with a new name and a spruced-up dining room with tons of booths. Come here when you don't feel like changing out of whatever loungewear you're in and want a thick, satisfying burger and a few martinis. This is also a perfect choice if you're looking for a place to bring your children on New Year's because there's a kids menu with grilled cheese and lots of desserts (including homemade ice cream). Despite its revamp, Old John’s has old-school charm—jazz playing over the speakers, staff who have been working there for years—and egg creams at the ready." - neha talreja
