Old John's Luncheonette•Upper West Side

American•$

In a heartbreaking landscape where restaurant closures continue, the return of Old John’s Luncheonette is a 2021 comeback we’re welcoming with open arms. After operating for more than 70 years, the diner closed this past October due to the challenges faced by the pandemic. But restaurateur Louis Skibar of Toloache Restaurant Group (Toloache, Tacuba, Coppelia, El Fish Shack) is bringing the eatery back at its 67 Street and Amsterdam Avenue location, with an upgraded interior while still holding on to that classic diner aesthetic.
