Best Diners in Manhattan

There is nothing more American the Diner food. And Manhattan has Diners from the southern tip to the northern. These are but a small sample of what you will find. The prices are low to moderate, so they will not break your budget either One of the greatest adventures in Manhattan is to explore and find a new restaurant. However, sometimes it is nice to know where you are going. Especially if you are new to the city or if going to be in a specific neighborhood, like a certain cuisine and want to make sure you will find it. I have included listings from as many different neighborhoods as possible. So let’s take a journey through Manhattan, and see what Diners we can find. They all have a web site with menus, so you can get a sneak peak. The prices listed are in effect at this time, but they are subject to change. Happy eating.
