Description

Boasting an unusual circular counter that is reflected in the exterior architecture, this unique diner was a feature of the 1939 New York World's Fair. It was reinstalled in 1946 at a hardscrabble corner down below the Jersey City Heights. The starting point of the quirky menu is breakfasts and burgers-the latter of the White Castle variety, thin patties with fried onions. But there are also spice-dusted waffle fries, chicken cutlet sandwiches, and, best of all, Taylor ham and cheese, a Jersey staple of thin-sliced luncheon meat with cheese melted on top, triple-deckered onto toast or a roll. Open 24 hours.
