Empire Diner in Chelsea is set to reopen again with chef John DeLucie serving classic all-American #diner fare.

šŸ³šŸ” Empire Diner is one of the last free-standing diners left in Manhattan and is located inside a 1946 Fodero Dining Car. It closed in 2015, after a second failed attempt to revive it. This photo was taken in 2009 before the #miniature stainless steel stylized #Empire State Building @empirestatebldg replica was removed from its roof. Photo and full interview with former owner Carolyn Benitez appear in our book "New York Nights". #storefront #tv_retrotype #jj_texttypographical #signgeeks #typevstime #signcollective #gas_food_lodging #ipulledoverforthis #igs_nyc #guardiancities #reportagespotlight #myfeatureshoot
