After surviving a few different ownerships in the past 45 years, we hope it can survive the pandemic as it is currently closed according to management until “Spring 2021”. We will always love it when it had 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.
• To help us save another NYC #diner which is struggling to survive the pandemic (Two Bridge’s Diner in the Lower East Side swipe left for 3rd photo), we are selling limited edition 8x8 inch signed prints for $55 including USA shipping of the departed Cup & Saucer and Two Bridge’s Diner (same owners as Cup & Saucer which was forced to close due to a huge rent increase). ALL NET PROCEEDS go back to support this wonderful family-owned business @twobridges_diner
• To order a print of either Cup & Saucer or Two Bridge’s Diner, please DM us or send $55 via Venmo directly to Karla-Murray. We will continue this limited edition print run fundraiser for 2 weeks until February 22nd & update everyone as to how much money we have raised!
