Empire Diner

Empire Diner is located inside a 1946 Fodero Dining Car on Tenth Avenue at w22nd Street in Chelsea. After surviving a few different ownerships as well as some extended closures over the years, the Empire Diner has been run by executive chef Jestin Feggan of Cafeteria and its managing partner Stacy Pisone since April 2017. We miss that this Art Deco diner no longer has the miniature stainless steel Empire State Building replica on its roof (which was removed in 2009) as seen in this photo which appears in our book "New York Nights". @empire_diner has been frequented by many artists and celebrities over the years including Bruce Springsteen who used to meet his then girlfriend Patti Scialfa on a bench next to the diner and proposed to her there. Empire Diner also has appeared in many movies including “Men in Black” & “Home Alone” and in numerous TV shows including Law And Order & Saturday Night Live.
