Chat 'n' Chew

This restaurant reopened recently - We never got to visit when it was last open but heard it was a union square institution. The menu is mostly diner food but has some more “foreign” (to a diner menu) dishes like korean style wings (very good) and hummus (ok). The buffalo shrimp appetizer and the wings were my favorite, along with desserts (we got the creme brûlée cheesecake and carrot cake in a mug - both were wonderful)

Diner with excellent food and friendly service. The place and its owners are welcoming. Guests are diverse, ranging from young couples to families, and atmosphere is casual and quiet - really comforting compared to the frenzy of New York. The pasta Bolognese were fantastic. Their burger had a thick and tasty patty, a nice layer of cheese, and the buns were sweet and golden. Fries were good too. Great place for comfort food!

Cozy all-day café off Union Square that recently got its liquor license. Regulars have been coming here for years, but they're under new management and they're making a push to attract new customers. The Fish and Chips and Korean style wings are both great, and everybody seems to love their Mac n Cheese. Even their burger was really good, but make sure you're hungry because it's a 10oz patty!
