Empire Diner
210 10th Ave, NYC
Diner Project Score 7.5
Chances are you know the Empire Diner. With its iconic EAT and exquisite chrome exterior it's across from the equally fabulous Printed Matter. While it has no neon, it has flashing lights that gain it half a point due to their inventiveness. It also has a wonderful streamline aesthetic, the type Jeffrey L. Meikle has written about. While other area diners
have disappeared in recent years, this 1946 diner holds strong. 
Other elements of interest: you can order drinks at the Empire
Diner as well as a tasty traditional grilled cheese. There is a piano
near the bathroom.
