Gramercy Cafe on Third Avenue and 17th Street near Gramercy Park is open 24/7.

This ‪#‎diner‬ had a great ‪#‎vintage‬ ‪#‎neonsign‬ on its roof but it was recently replaced by an LED lit plastic version. We are not sure why it was replaced but imagine it has somethings to do with the high cost of maintaining a ‪#‎neon‬ ‪#‎sign‬ in New York City, where it is exposed to all types of weather including blizzards and heavy rain, which typically "shorts out" a letter or two. We loved its ‪#‎script‬ and block ‪#‎lettering‬ in both blue and red colors.
