Diner   

A wolf in sheep's clothing, this corner hot spot has a retro-diner veneer, but make no mistake: While it does serve coffee with eggs over-easy, it'd rather serve you a martini from the bar. Once the clubs close, Chelsea's hottest scenes are the 24-hour diners, complete with a bouncer to tame the hungry crowds, and The Diner leads the pack. Dishes like macaroni and cheese with chorizo and Southern fried chicken with a side of disco fries are sure to be tasty and heavy artillery to stave off any impending hangover. Any diner worth its salt has a solid dessert menu and here is no different. Enjoy chocolate banana bread, apple pie or cheesecake -- with the morning paper or as a post-dancing treat.
