With the longest night of the year, last night, #wintersolstice, we're thinking of The Famous Cozy Soup ‘N’ Burger ๐ in Greenwich Village.
This family-owned #diner has been in business since 1972 and the menu has stayed pretty much the same except for the addition of some health-conscious items. Photo from 2009 appears in our book “New York Nights”.

The egg cream does not contain eggs or cream but is a mixture of very cold milk, seltzer, and flavored syrup. Because most of the original soda fountain locations have closed, true egg creams are rapidly disappearing.
