South Street Diner--wanting a burger at 1am!






In the wee hours of this past Sunday, SKL and I wanted a burger! Granted it did not help that I did not have dinner so I was ravenous. The went to a fundraiser she had assured me had food did not. (She misread and thought of another fund raiser). We were around Chinatown but that is not the place for a burger though. By 1am we were starving and her feet hurt but we made it to South Street Diner (open 24 hours on weekends for sure).

There is even a bouncer for this diner too! Our wait was not long we entered the small diner lite with pinkish light with a mixed clientele of high schoolers (from their prom playing card games) to students needing a light night fix and us. We were seated at the counter were we got the first hand look at all the hustle and bustle by the line cooks and waitstaff. Our server was very pleasant, efficient and sported more tattoos and piercings I will never have.

We decided to order a cheeseburger and halve it and also we got the South Street Diner Breakfast Special ($9.50) with three eggs, 2 pancakes, choice homefries, sausage, bacon. We got plenty of fries and the diner generously divided up our burger and gave us generous amounts of fries that were fried to perfection. The potatoes with the breakfast plate were fried but bigger pieces and a bit on the dry side. The medium burger was just right and hit the spot. The corned beef hash as a option was nice and the eggs and pancakes were all filling. As with any greasy spoon, it hit the spot.

Lucky for SKN I knew of a this diner, there are no alot of places that serve food 24 hours anymore and at reasonable prices even!
