"B&H Dairy is the kind of place you go if you want to feel like a New Yorker. Not an NYU student or a lived-here-for-three-years New Yorker, but a guy reading a newspaper in a diner in an ’80s cop movie New Yorker. This cash-only spot is mostly just one long counter, and you order from the guy who makes your food. The menu is extensive, but you can’t go wrong with one of the soups or giant sandwiches. Come here for a quick breakfast or lunch where you can pretend to be some OG East Villager before you head off to class or work." - hannah albertine, matt tervooren
