If you are headed to Carnegie Hall, or are just in the neighborhood, the Carnegie Diner, on West 57th Street is a great option for a casual meal. Serving breakfast all day long, as well as a great variety of other items, it’s nice to know that this Carnegie takes reservations.
Obviously, there is no dedicated parking, but there are garages on the surrounding streets. If someone needs to be dropped off, note that there is no seating in the restaurant if you have to wait for someone (or for a table).
We thought we had a reservation, not knowing that we had made it for another location! We are happy to report that they couldn’t have been nicer, and accommodated us.
Tables and banquettes at the front have adequate space to maneuver, as well as a full-height counter. The booths that are farther back are extremely “tight” making it difficult to navigate for almost anyone.
The menu is quite extensive. Our group had a variety of things, from eggs to a Corned Beef Reuben. Everything was delicious. The greens and French Fries were excellent as well. Our server was lovely, making sure that we were well served.
Two, single-occupancy, accessible restrooms are located in the rear of the area with the booths. You can find them by heading towards the mural that looks like you are in Carnegie Hall.
We will leave you with the same disclaimer that the diner posts on its website, “ They are not associated with the Carnegie Deli.”
As always, we at Destination Accessible, advise you to visit a venue’s website, www.carnegiediner.com, when planning a visit, to “know before you go.”
