We can't recommend the Market Diner too highly. It is no diner but a remarkably reasonable and fantastic gourmet new-American cuisine restau. Fantastic. The pork roast was the BEST version of that dish I've ever had in the US. The fish my wife had was also excellent. The cocktails are lots of fun, and the cheese plate is great!! The deserts were a little absurdly large and not quite up to the level of the food. Overall, could not be more recommended. Unpretentious service.

A classic tourist scam--to be avoided!!! We got taken in by the friendly owner showing off specials outside the restaurant, and we had just failed to get into Becco a few doors down. This place is very cute-looking and was full. Big mistake! The Hourglass was the worst meal we've had in NYC in about 5 years. Both my wife and I had fish and neither of us ate it, it was just that foul. The only thing that was okay was the spinach pie house appetizer--even the deserts were foul. We felt trapped and cheated--though the staff is so "friendly" they are actually conning you into ordering food you would never accept in any local diner. Diner beware!!
