Air Line Diner

In remembrance of actor Paul Sorvino, who passed away the other day, we are highlighting the Air Line Diner in Queens where iconic scenes starring Sorvino as Paul Cicero aka Big Pauly in Martin Scorcese’s film “Goodfellas” were filmed. The Airline Diner is a Mountain View diner (built in New Jersey and transported to Queens) and opened near La Guardia Airport, adjacent to the Grand Central Pkwy in Astoria, Queens in 1952. This historic diner became part of the Jackson Hole hamburger chain in more recent years but its original neon signage (swipe left for 2nd photo) was preserved. It is a wonderful place to visit and have their delicious burgers and even the interior remains the same as it did when Goodfellas was filmed.
