Been there before visiting a friend at Columbia. Extremely disappointing, only saving grace is that they made a mean chocolate milkshake.

It's literally just a NYC diner, if it wasn't disappointing it wouldn't be a NYC diner. We may not have dirty water dogs anymore but at least we have our shitty, awful diners

Was it featured in Monk? I don't own a television.

The main reason it's kind of famous with my generation is that it was mentioned in a shitty song by that Vega chick

No, they were all replaced with halal carts which are also terrible but at least you can get hot sauce to drown out the shitty taste.

As an added bonus they repel /pol/tards from our city because they say "halal" on them

Coming from a very diner-centric part of NJ and having all my snooty NYC friends act like their eating establishments are far superior, I expected a bit more. Plus I figured the Seinfeld thing would make them up their game.

Tom's is actually a particularly shitty example of a diner. There a group of diners within like a 10 block radius of there that are all significantly better if still not anything spectacular.

t. grew up 4 blocks from there

I've seen it but I never paid much attention to the details. I had the impression the characters were supposed to be on the UES, but the restaurant is Tom's Diner on the UWS:

No, I avoided that place because it looked weird and I'm slightly autistic. V&T's was my joint for pizza though and the Hungarian for dessert.

Either of you try Nussbaum & Wu bagels? Absolute bagels is the 'famous' one but I never thought they were anything special.

Koronet's is decent when you're hammered at 4AM but they really jewed up the prices. It was $2.50 a slice when I was a freshman, something like $4.75 when I was a senior.

I prefer absolute bagels desu though they have definitely declined a little, I remember when koronet was like $2 but then Columbia started buying all the property in the area and the rents jumped and now there's no bodegas on Broadway between like 104 and 125
