Pop Diner (CLOSED)

The thoughtful eats at this friendly, ’50s-era canteen set Pop apart from lesser luncheonettes. Sure, you’ll find a lineup of burgers and all-day breakfast, but it’s the top-notch seafood offerings—sweet Maryland crab cakes; risotto packed with shrimp, scallops, mussels, clams and a hint of saffron—that place the eatery well outside the bounds of a typical greasy spoon. Homemade touches are everywhere—see the house-baked challah rolls and the thick, creamy cheesecake.
