Fred 62

We've been going to this place for a few years now. Fred 62 is open 24/7 365 days a year. And there have been a few times I have thankfully gone here when I knew my alternatives were few and far between. If you've never been there it's a diner. But not just any old greasy spoon. Their large menu features all the classic diner faves and much more. Good burgers, shakes, pancakes, omelettes and everything in between. I usually enjoy the New Amsterdam breakfast sandwich with eggs, bacon and hash browns all on a buttery bun. Along with a few cups of their decent coffee. It's a cheap and delicious cure for what ails you. Or if hair of the dog is what's needed, they've got decent selection of beer and wine and champagne for you Mimosa drinkers. And they offer more than a few Asian dishes that are surprisingly good. Udon or Soba? Yep. Thai noodles too. Thai Cobb is a nice riff on the Cobb salad with a Thai twist. Great and gooey "Mac Daddy & Cheese" with bits of jalapeno served piping hot. There's pretty much something for everyone here. Grab a seat at the counter if you're alone or in a hurry with your dining companion. Or be prepared for a short but worthwhile wait on the weekend.
